Hi, 
 
I'm in the process of upgrading an aged php application to php5  
compatibility. 
 
One script has me stumped. Here's a code snippet: 
 
while($categoryrow = mysql_fetch_array($categoryresult)) { 
                $categoryval = $categoryrow["category"]; 
                $categoryidval = $categoryrow["categoryid"]; 
                $tempbox = "box" . $categoryidval; 
 
         //assign dynamic variable 
                $categoryvalue = ${$tempbox}; 
 
// end code snippet. 
 
If I echo $tempbox, I get a list of numerical values (correctly). 
If I echo $categoryvalue, my data is empty. 
 
If it's not a PHP5 thing then I'm lost - any ideas/suggestions? 
 
Neil
