What you want to do is called variable variables...

http://www.php.net/manual/language.variables.variable.php

you would do : $$myVar = "foo";

and then doing "echo $TEST" would return "foo"

Subject: [PHP] Creating a variable from a value

This may seem strange... hopefully I can explain the problem well:
I have a variable named $myVar

$myVar contains a string that may look like anything, for example, we'll
use "TEST"

I want to take the string value of $myVar and make a variable out of it's
value.

A code example would be this:

<?
unset($TEST);

$myVar = "TEST";

createNewVariable($myVar);

if (isset($TEST)) {
   // success
else
   // error
?>

Any idea on how i would create this?

Many thanks in advance,
Rob
