Okay if you are using classes. Then this is dead on easy.
<?php
class MyClass {
var $myname;
var $myemail;
var $myphonenr;
function getVariable($var){ return $this->$var;}
function setVariable($var,$value){ $this->$var = $value;}
}
// Example use;
$myclass = new $MyClass();
$myclass->setVaribale("myname","Michael");
$myclass->setVaribale("myemail","michael@greenquery.com");
print "Hi " . $myclass->getVariable("myname");
//View the class
var_dump($myclass);
?>
I hope this is what your looking for
Best Regards
Michael
