<?php
$alist="$art".$year;
$num=0;
foreach ($alist as $num){ echo $list[$num++][0]; }
?>
my bracketed arrays are designed with $art60[][] format.
where "60" will change with the given year.
Using the above script, I get "invalid argument".
So what would be a valid argument?
The array is setup so that $art60[number][0]=artist name (always).
then each record for that artist is listed in 3d format.
$art60[number][record]['info']="data".
I want to list just the artist names in one division.

not that you'll see anything right now.

Is alist an array, like it says in the foreach doccy? And why are you
incrementing $num ?

I think you should consider changing the way you write arrays. Instead
of using "$art60[][]", you could use "$art[60][][]". It also appears
that you mistyped the variable name in the "foreach" loop -- did you
mean to type "$alist[$num++][0]"? And why are you incrementing the
"$num" variable?
Nevertheless, there *is* a way to do this:
$varname = '$art' . $year; // Note the single quotes.
$alist = eval("return $varname;");
I don't recommend this, though. It's a security issue.
