change string into variable

[BluaP]

when going to index.php?headl ines=Macsanomat

i want to use the $Macsanomat instead of Macsanomat (the string)
this is needed to declare $Macsanomat into a loop.


piece of the code:
//------
$Macsanomat['naam'] = "Macsanomat ";
$Macsanomat['vlag'] = '<img src="finland.gi f>';
$Macsanomat['tekst'] = "<b>News</b> powered by ";
$Macsanomat['id'] = '714';

if ($headlines !="")
{
echo $headlines['vlag'].'<a
href="'.$headli nes['id'].'>'.$headlines['naam'].</a>';
};
//-------

index.php?headl ines=Macsanomat

in the last line $headlines['vlag'] should be <img src="finland.gi f>,
$headlines['id'] should be 714. The value of both is now simply M


anyone ?

sure did help!
plain simple:

if ($headlines !="")
{
$headlines2=$$h eadlines;
echo $headlines2['vlag'].'<a
href="'.$headli nes2['id'].'>'.$headlines 2['naam'].</a>';
};

did not know the $$ trick. thank you, thank you!
