How do I display this kind of 2-dim array value correctly?

[Phil Powell]

[PHP]
$successMsgArra y = array('image' => array('add_albu m' => 'Album:
"$album" has been created',
'edit_album' => 'Information for album "$album" has
been changed'));
[/PHP]

I am having to return the following in a class method:

[PHP]
return $successMsgArra y[$section][$action];
[/PHP]

Where the contents of $successMsgArra y[$section][$action] will have
the "placeholde rs" replaced by their variable values, so if you want
to return $successMsgArra y['image']['add_album'] you should see:

Album "Phil" has been created

Where $album = 'Phil'

instead of

Album "$album" has been created

How on earth do I do this? I have tried every combination of printf,
sprintf, echo, and eval that there could be done, to no avail. I'm
completely confused as to how to return this 2-dim array value into
something readable.

Here is the class method I have so far that fails miserably:

[PHP]

class MethodGenerator ForActionPerfor mer {

function &getSuccessMsg( ) { // STATIC STRING METHOD
global $section, $action, ${$section . 'LocationPath'} ,
$successMsgArra y;
if (is_array($_POS T) && @sizeof($_POST) > 0) foreach ($_POST as $key
=> $val) if (!isset(${$key} )) ${$key} = $val;
$this->fileName = ($_POST['image_name']) ? $_POST['image_name'] :
$this->fileName;
echo eval('$msg = ' . $successMsgArra y[$section][$action]);
return $msg;
}

}
[/PHP]

Thanx
Phil

You simply have a problem when creating the array:

[PHP]
$successMsgArra y = array('image' => array('add_albu m' => 'Album: "$album"
has been created', 'edit_album' => 'Information for album "$album" has been
changed'));
[/PHP]

should be

[PHP]
$successMsgArra y = array('image' => array('add_albu m' => "Album: $album has
been created", 'edit_album' => "Informatio n for album $album has been
changed"));
[/PHP]
