reference he**

OK, so I have a variable number of POST variables coming into a form handler from another script. These names are a subset of, say, var1, var2, ..var1238.

I know which subset I will have, so I know what numbers will be on the end, and I loop through the possible values, setting $varname = 'var'.$index, and then I can access the value of that POST variable by $$varname.

But pretend for a second I have a function that expects a reference to a variable (normally &$varname), and I need to pass each of these variables as arguments to this function.

How please?

Many TIA!!! Brad Gunsalus

Well... what happens when you try to pass your variable variables: function(@$$varname), or even function(@${$varname})? I am curious myself.
