Question

I’m retrieving a row with php from mysql and it has fields like: name_en, name_es, name_de…

I want to retrieve the right field base on my $lang variable (en, es, de…). If the $lang variable is ‘es’, I’d need to get $row[‘name_es’].

I’ve tried this (based on this thread), but it’s not working:

$name = $row->{'name_'.$lang};

Any idea how can I use a variable as the name of the field of a row?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Answer 1

Do you have? $row['name_es']

try it:

$name = $row['name_'.$lang];
