Actually variable
I'm trying to use variable variables to work on arrays:
$forest = array("a", "b", "c", ...);
$layer[$l]= "forest";
Now I want to access all array members of $forest using $$layer:
e.g.
for($c = 0; $c < $$layer[$l]; $l++) {
echo $$layer[$l][$c];
}
But this doesn't work, gives syntax error,
So
I think you're missing the point of variable variables.
After the first use of $$a, you now have a variable called $foo with a
value of 'bar'.
So your echo would be echo "$a $foo";
I kind of consider variable variables the poor mans array. Most any
solution you think of with variable variable

well, the first method is the same as saying
$a = "foo";
$foo = "bar";
echo "$a $foo";
whereas the second method is appending "bar" to $a (thus making it "foobar")

In first method, you get two variables, the second, just one
