Re: PHP calling PHP?

Hello,

your last question is more than interesting.
You can try the code below and just look what is happening!

Seriously, If you use either $HTTP_POST_VARS or $HTTP_GET_VARS (respect to the action)
1: you can access the variable with its original name ($HTTP_POST_VARS['foo*bar'], in my example),
2: but you can't refer to it as a common global variable like : $foo*bar.
3: much more interesting with variable variables, try and see. I don't say annything ... :)

<?php
var_dump($HTTP_POST_VARS['foo*bar']); // example for 1
var_dump($foo*bar); // syntax error: constant bar is not defined
$var= 'foo*bar';
var_dump($$var); //work around with variable variables
?>
<form method=post action="<? echo $PHP_SELF ?>">
<input type="text" name="foo*bar" value='a'>
<input type="submit">
</form>

That's excatly what I needed :)

Thanks.

Another one:

If I have a html form an in it a text field with the a name like this:
name="foo*bar"
How would I refer to it in my php script? Normaly variable names have no
* in them, do they?:)
