In PHP you can you
$var = 'title';
$$var = 'my new title';
and it works fine. But when you try to use it with array, it doesnt work and no errors are reported.
$var = 'title';
$$var['en'] = 'my english title';
$var = 'description';
$$var['en'] = 'my english description';
Thanks for the help
[EDIT] If I do
$$var = array();
array_push($$var,'test');
it works and it outputs
title[0] = 'test';
But I really need named index : /
write it like this:
${$var}['en']
from the docs:
In order to use variable variables with arrays, you have to resolve an ambiguity problem. That is, if you write $$a1 then the parser needs to know if you meant to use $a1 as a variable, or if you wanted $$a as the variable and then the 1 index from that variable. The syntax for resolving this ambiguity is: ${$a1} for the first case and ${$a}1 for the second.
What you really want is:
${$var}['en']
The problem, as stated in the manual, is ambiguity. When you write $$var['en'], it tries to find the value of $var['en'] first and then find a variable with the name of the value of that index. The braces in ${$var}['en'] show that you want $var to be expanded first.
