i know it sounds weird, just something i've been trying to do, will explain some more:
if for example i have array named $my_array, with for example:
$my_array['field1'] = "1";
$my_array['field2'] = "2";
& so on

i'm looking for smart way of making this as if i wrote:
$field1 = "1";
$field2 = "2";

so assuming i have this array that is populated via FOR loop, i can later on pass this array as seperate vars.

i'm aiming to do something like WetWired did in his activity hack code (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=93831), where in there he used an array named $output in the postbit_start hook, and somehow got it to be declared as seprate digits vars on the template itself.

i've tried to use php eval() function, but that didn't go so well.

if anyone got some idea on & can give few pointers will be appreciated.
thx.

Well the manual way would be: $field1 = $my_array['field1'];
But of course that isn't to sensible if you have 200 vars. xD

Underneath your code put:
so then your code should look like: You can then use $field1 and $field2.

thx, will try that.

EDIT: still haven't checked it (needs to switch to my linux, will do it in about an hour), just wanted to add i was aware foreach loop can do this sort of work, but wanted to know if there was any internal vbulletin function for it to make life easier. like mentioned, in the first post - as in that activity hack he made, he didn't made any foreach loop & that still worked, so it puzzled me a bit.

Apparently the globalize() function was dropped in 3.5. Which was the alternative.

*bumps up old thread*

You can also use:

thanks for the tip - this is what i was looking for ;)

ok, no problem

You can also do: extract($my_array, EXTR_PREFIX_SAME, "pre"); Which would add the prefix pre to it if the variable already existed.
