Runs through an array, assigns variables based on key name. Ability to append or prepend text to newly created variables. Useful for adapting current applications that depend on register_globals to work without it.

<?php
function assignFromArray($array, $prepend="", $append="") {

                                foreach ($array as $key => $value) {

                                global ${$prepend . $key . $append};

                                ${$prepend . $key . $append} = $array[$key];

                                }

                            }
?>

Usage Example

$arrTest['test_value'] = "Testing";

                            

                            /* Default function useage */

                            assignFromArray($arrTest);

                            

                            echo $test_value; // will print "Testing"

                            

                            /* Prepending and appending to variables */

                            assignFromArray($arrTest, "a_", "_1");

                            

                            echo $a_test_value_1; // will also print "Testing"
