Convert assoc array to variables 2

[LaundroMat]

I'm pretty sure I saw a way to convert an associative array to variables.
This array:
$array = ("one"=>1, "two"=>2);
Can it be converted to two variables, $one and $two, with the values 1 and 2?

I think I'm blind, as I can't find this anywhere in the manual anymore...

You could use variable variables from within a foreach loop:

<?php

$thearray = array ('one' => 1, 'two' => 2);

foreach ($thearray as $key => $value)
	$$key = $value;
	
print $one;
?>

Use the function extract(), see

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.extract.php

for more information. Here's the example from the web page (slightly modified):

<?php
$var_array = array("color" => "blue",
                   "size"  => "medium",
                   "shape" => "sphere");
extract($var_array);

echo "$color, $size, $shape\n";
?>

The above code prints:

blue, medium, sphere

Thanks the both of you. On my way home I was thinking of the variable variables solution, but then I was sure I saw a function somewhere. And that's extract().

Thanks again
