References are great if you want to point to a variable which you don't quite know the value yet ;)
eg:
<?php
$error_msg = &$messages['login_error']; // Create a reference
$messages['login_error'] = 'test'; // Then later on set the referenced value
echo $error_msg; // echo the 'referenced value'
?>
The output will be:
test
You don't necessarily have to escape the dollar-sign before a variable if you want to output its name.
You can use single quotes instead of double quotes, too.
For instance:
<?php
$var = "test";
echo "$var"; // Will output the string "test"
echo "\$var"; // Will output the string "$var"
echo '$var'; // Will do the exact same thing as the previous line
?>
Why?
Well, the reason for this is that the PHP Parser will not attempt to parse strings encapsulated in single quotes (as opposed to strings within double quotes) and therefore outputs exactly what it's being fed with :)
To output the value of a variable within a single-quote-encapsulated string you'll have to use something along the lines of the following code:
<?php
$var = 'test';
/*
Using single quotes here seeing as I don't need the parser to actually parse the content of this variable but merely treat it as an ordinary string
*/
echo '$var = "' . $var . '"';
/*
Will output:
$var = "test"
*/

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$name = "Christine_Nothdurfter";
// not Christine Nothdurfter
// you are not allowed to leave a space inside a variable name ;)
$$name = "'s students of Tyrolean language ";
print " $name{$$name}<br>";
print "$name$Christine_Nothdurfter";
// same
?>
You can also construct a variable name by concatenating two different variables, such as:
<?php
$arg = "foo";
$val = "bar";
//${$arg$val} = "in valid"; // Invalid
${$arg . $val} = "working";
echo $foobar; // "working";
//echo $arg$val; // Invalid
//echo ${$arg$val}; // Invalid
echo ${$arg . $val}; // "working"
?>

<?php// I am beginning to like curly braces.
// I hope this helps for you work with them
$filename0="k";
$filename1="kl";
$filename2="klm";
$i=0;
for ($varname = sprintf("filename%d",$i); isset ( ${$varname} ) ; $varname = sprintf("filename%d", $i) ) {
echo "${$varname} <br>";
$varname = sprintf("filename%d",$i);
$i++;
}
?>
Here's a function to get the name of a given variable. Explanation and examples below.
<?php
function vname(&$var, $scope=false, $prefix='unique', $suffix='value')
{
if($scope) $vals = $scope;
else $vals = $GLOBALS;
$old = $var;
$var = $new = $prefix.rand().$suffix;
$vname = FALSE;
foreach($vals as $key => $val) {
if($val === $new) $vname = $key;
}
$var = $old;
return $vname;
}
?>
Explanation:
The problem with figuring out what value is what key in that variables scope is that several variables might have the same value. To remedy this, the variable is passed by reference and its value is then modified to a random value to make sure there will be a unique match. Then we loop through the scope the variable is contained in and when there is a match of our modified value, we can grab the correct key.
Examples:
1. Use of a variable contained in the global scope (default):
<?php
$my_global_variable = "My global string.";
echo vname($my_global_variable); // Outputs: my_global_variable
?>
2. Use of a local variable:
<?php
function my_local_func()
{
$my_local_variable = "My local string.";
return vname($my_local_variable, get_defined_vars());
}
echo my_local_func(); // Outputs: my_local_variable
?>
3. Use of an object property:
<?php
class myclass
{
public function __constructor()
{
$this->my_object_property = "My object property string.";
}
}
$obj = new myclass;
echo vname($obj->my_object_property, $obj); // Outputs: my_object_property
?>
In addition to what jospape at hotmail dot com and ringo78 at xs4all dot nl wrote, here's the sintax for arrays:
<?php
//considering 2 arrays
$foo1 = array ("a", "b", "c");
$foo2 = array ("d", "e", "f");
//and 2 variables that hold integers
$num = 1;
$cell = 2;
echo ${foo.$num}[$cell]; // outputs "c"
$num = 2;
$cell = 0;
echo ${foo.$num}[$cell]; // outputs "d"
?>
As with echo, you can define a variable like this:
<?php
$text = <<<END
<table>
<tr>
<td>
$outputdata
</td>
</tr>
</table>
END;
?>
The closing END; must be on a line by itself (no whitespace).

In conditional assignment of variables, be careful because the strings may take over the value of the variable if you do something like this:
<?php
$condition = true;
// Outputs " <-- That should say test"
echo "test" . ($condition) ? " <-- That should say test" : "";
?>
You will need to enclose the conditional statement and assignments in parenthesis to have it work correctly:
<?php
$condition = true;
// Outputs "test <-- That should say test"
echo "test" . (($condition) ? " <-- That should say test " : "");
?>
Variables can also be assigned together.
<?php
$a = $b = $c = 1;
echo $a.$b.$c;
?>
This outputs 111.
When using variable variables this is invalid:
<?php
$my_variable_{$type}_name = true;
?>
to get around this do something like:
<?php
$n="my_variable_{$type}_name";
${$n} = true;
?>
(or $$n - I tend to use curly brackets out of habit as it helps t reduce bugs ...)
References and "return" can be flakey:
<?php
// This only returns a copy, despite the dereferencing in the function definition
function &GetLogin ()
{
return $_SESSION['Login'];
}
// This gives a syntax error
function &GetLogin ()
{
return &$_SESSION['Login'];
}
// This works
function &GetLogin ()
{
$ret = &$_SESSION['Login'];
return $ret;
}
?>
Simple sample and variables and html "templates":
The PHP code:
variables.php:
<?php
$SYSN["title"] = "This is Magic!";
$SYSN["HEADLINE"] = "Ez magyarul van"; // This is hungarian
$SYSN["FEAR"] = "Bell in my heart";
?>
index.php:
<?php
include("variables.php");
include("template.html");
?>
The template:
template.html
<html>
<head><title><?=$SYSN["title"]?></title></head>
<body>
<H1><?=$SYSN["HEADLINE"]?></H1>
<p><?=$SYSN["FEAR"]?></p>
</body>
</html>
This is simple, quick and very flexibile
Here's a pair of functions to encode/decode any string to be a valid php and javascript variable name.
<?php
function label_encode($txt) {
// add Z to the begining to avoid that the resulting
// label is a javascript keyword or it starts with a
// number
$txt = 'Z'.$txt;
// encode as urlencoded data
$txt = rawurlencode($txt);
// replace illegal characters
$illegal = array('%', '-', '.');
$ok = array('é', 'è', 'à');
$txt = str_replace($illegal,$ok, $txt);
return $txt;
}
function label_decode($txt) {
// replace illegal characters
$illegal = array('%', '-', '.');
$ok = array('é', 'è', 'à');
$txt = str_replace($ok, $illegal, $txt);
// unencode
$txt = rawurldecode($txt);
// remove the leading Z and return
return substr($txt,1);
}
?>
As an addendum to David's 10-Nov-2005 posting, remember that curly braces literally mean "evaluate what's inside the curly braces" so, you can squeeze the variable variable creation into one line, like this:
<?php
${"title_default_" . $title} = "selected";
?>
and then, for example:
<?php
$title_select = <<<END
<select name="title">
<option>Select</option>
<option $title_default_Mr value="Mr">Mr</option>
<option $title_default_Ms value="Ms">Ms</option>
<option $title_default_Mrs value="Mrs">Mrs</option>
<option $title_default_Dr value="Dr">Dr</option>
</select>
END;
?>
Here's a simple solution for retrieving the variable name, based on the lucas (language.variables#49997) solution, but shorter, just two lines =)
<?php
function var_name(&$var, $scope=0)
{
$old = $var;
if (($key = array_search($var = 'unique'.rand().'value', !$scope ? $GLOBALS : $scope)) && $var = $old) return $key;
}
?>
[EDIT by danbrown AT php DOT net: The function provided by this author will give you all defined variables at runtime. It was originally written by (john DOT t DOT gold AT gmail DOT com), but contained some errors that were corrected in subsequent posts by (ned AT wgtech DOT com) and (taliesin AT gmail DOT com).]
<?php
echo '<table border=1><tr> <th>variable</th> <th>value</th> </tr>';
foreach( get_defined_vars() as $key => $value)
{
if (is_array ($value) )
{
echo '<tr><td>$'.$key .'</td><td>';
if ( sizeof($value)>0 )
{
echo '"<table border=1><tr> <th>key</th> <th>value</th> </tr>';
foreach ($value as $skey => $svalue)
{
echo '<tr><td>[' . $skey .']</td><td>"'. $svalue .'"</td></tr>';

This is mine type casting lib, that is very useful for me.
<?php
function CAST_TO_INT($var, $min = FALSE, $max = FALSE)
{
$var = is_int($var) ? $var : (int)(is_scalar($var) ? $var : 0);
if ($min !== FALSE && $var < $min)
return $min;
elseif($max !== FALSE && $var > $max)
return $max;
return $var;
}
function CAST_TO_FLOAT($var, $min = FALSE, $max = FALSE)
{
$var = is_float($var) ? $var : (float)(is_scalar($var) ? $var : 0);
if ($min !== FALSE && $var < $min)
return $min;
elseif($max !== FALSE && $var > $max)
return $max;
return $var;
}
function CAST_TO_BOOL($var)
{
return (bool)(is_bool($var) ? $var : is_scalar($var) ? $var : FALSE);
}
function CAST_TO_STRING($var, $length = FALSE)
{
if ($length !== FALSE && is_int($length) && $length > 0)
return substr(trim(is_string($var)
? $var
: (is_scalar($var) ? $var : '')), 0, $length);
return trim(
is_string($var)
? $var
: (is_scalar($var) ? $var : ''));
}
function CAST_TO_ARRAY($var)
{
return is_array($var)
? $var
: is_scalar($var) && $var
? array($var)
: is_object($var) ? (array)$var : array();
}
function CAST_TO_OBJECT($var)
{
return is_object($var)
? $var
: is_scalar($var) && $var
? (object)$var
: is_array($var) ? (object)$var : (object)NULL;
}
?>
I found interstate solution to work with arrays
<?php
$vars['product']['price']=11;
$aa='product';
$bb='price';
echo $vars{$aa}{$bb};
//prints 11
?>
This script has been running around for a while and has add many additions and changes, however I noticed that if you run it and there is an object assigned to a variable it will fail with 'Object of Class 'XXXX' cannot be converted to string'
so I changed it a little to ignore objects within the script and display the variables only:
Btw, it has haelped me an ENOURMOUS amount over the years especially when keeping track of variables that are being sent through request and if session variables are alive
<?php
//this can be removed if you want to find out if you page has actually started a session, - this is sometimes a problem when relying on a session being started by an included/required file
if(!isset($_SESSION))
{
session_start();
}
//now begin the table
echo '<table border=1><tr> <th>variable</th> <th>value</th> </tr>';
foreach(get_defined_vars() as $key => $value)
{
//if the returned value is NOT an object...
if (is_array ($value) && !is_object($key) && !is_object($value))
{
echo '<tr><td>$'.$key .'</td><td>';
if ( sizeof($value)>0 )
{
echo '"<table border=1><tr> <th>key</th> <th>value</th> </tr>';
foreach ($value as $skey => $svalue )
{
//and if these values are NOT an object...
if ( !is_object($skey) && !is_object($svalue))
{
echo '<tr><td>[' . $skey .']</td><td>"'. $svalue .'"</td></tr>';
}
}
echo '</table>"';
}
else
{
echo 'EMPTY';
}
echo '</td></tr>';
}else
{
echo '<tr><td>[' . $key .']</td><td>"'. $value .'"</td></tr>';
}
}
echo '</table>';
