$$var = 'my new title'; 

and it works fine. But when you try to use it with array, it doesnt work and no errors are reported.

$$var['en'] = 'my english title';

$var = 'description';
$$var['en'] = 'my english description';

Thanks for the help

[EDIT]

    write it like this:

    ${$var}['en']
    

    from the docs:

    In order to use variable variables
    with arrays, you have to resolve an
    ambiguity problem. That is, if you
    write $$a1 then the parser needs to
    know if you meant to use $a1 as a
    variable, or if you wanted $$a as the
    variable and then the 1 index from
    that variable. The syntax for
    resolving this ambiguity is: ${$a1}
    for the first case and ${$a}1 for
    the second.
