Variable Problem

[Locky]

basicly

$_GET["Event"]

will be numeric

however it is going to be used like so : 'event'.$_GET["Event"].'text'

e.g event4text

and there will be a variable for that and i would like to echo the variable for event4text (wich will be a short description) as opposed to echoing event4text

i do not no how to go about this at all ?

I don't really get what you want. You didn't give any info, the code, or what you want. Please tell me.
Thanks,

right i shal try to explain better

in the URL $_GET["Event"] will be numerical (a number) and when i get the number from the url it shal be used in the following way: 'event'.$_GET["Event"].'text' (event4text) and for that i shal have $event4text = "short description" how would i echo the "short description" as opposed to echoing the "event4text"

the 4 is only a example and could be any number got from the Event URL

ps, i did have it all figured out useing SESSIONS but ie6 would not remember the session and would foget when the page changed. that is my reason for url based.

PHP has a method for this, but it doesn't allow multi-part dynamic variables.

So here's the code:

$test = 5; //setup a variable
$a = 'te';
$b = 'st';
$temporary = $a.$b; //$temporary = 'test';
echo $$temporary; //echo $test;
//returns 5
So:
$x = 'event'.$_GET['Event'].'text'; echo $$x;

I'm not aware of any shortcuts. $(.....) might work, but I think that may do something else.
