[PHP3] 2 variables deep From: Scott Forsyth (sforsyth <email protected>)

Hi,

I'm still new at PHP and am stuck on something simple.

I want to create an Array of the QUERY_STRING variables from the previous
page and then call them up. It seems like it should be simple but I can't
get it working.

I tried something like

$categories = array("ID", "cat1", "cat2");

for ($i=0; $i < count($categories) ; $i++ ) {
  if ($i<>0) {
      $fields .= ", ";
      $values .= ", ";
     }
    $cat = $category[$i] ;
    print $cat;
}

or . . .
    eval("\$cat = \"$category[$i]\";");
    print $cat;
}

But, I don't get the variable of $ID, $cat1, $cat2, etc. I get the actual
string '$ID', '$cat1' etc.
In other words, I want the result to say "Sports" and not "cat1".

Must be something simple that I am missing.

Thanks very much in advance, I appreciated everyone's response to my last
question.

Scott
