I've been researching this for hours and can't seem to find the right
syntax.

I need to retrieve a value of an array by referencing the element using a
string variable.

For example:

$data['lastname'] = 'hank';
$element = 'lastname';
echo $data[$element];

Outputs:

hank

Seems straightforward enough, but the solution escapes me.

Someone clue me in--thanks!
