Problem accessing variable variabla arrays ...

Hi all !

I've declared variables like this :

$buttons[1]["name"] = "Test";

And now, for some reasons, I want to access to this value
dynamically throught variable variable.

Example :

$var_name = "buttons";
$var_index1 = 1;
$var_index2 = "name";
echo ${$var_name}[$var_index1][$varindex2];

Doesn't display anything ... instead of "Test".

Can someone help me ?

You're misssing an underscore in $varindex2 ... should be $var_index2.

I would try this:

echo $$var_name[$var_index1][$var_index2];

There's an ambiguity with this solution. Does it mean "Take the value
of $var_name[$var_index1] and turn it into a variable and then use
$var_index2 as an index on the result" or does it mean "Take the value
of $var_name and turn it into a variable and index it by
[$var_index1][$var_index2]"? Using the curly brackets "{ }" tells PHP
which interpretation is correct.
