Yeah, I thought so too, but variable variables doesn't seem to provide for
this.... to add a little bit of detail to what I am doing, it is a user
list, and I want to have a check box next to each user so that you can
select 1 or more users for deletion. Each checkbox will be named User$id
($id of course being the numerical id of the user in the database)
I did try doing somehting like $User{ereg ([0-9])} but it doesn't seem to
work, or I'm doing it wrong.
I guess maybe an easier way is if I could somehow drop all of the selected
id's into an array? Then I wouldn't need to worry about needing to determine
which variables exist.
