Create array containing variables and their values

compact ( mixed $varname1 [, mixed $... ] ) : array

varname1

compact() takes a variable number of parameters. Each parameter can be either a string containing the name of the variable, or an array of variable names. The array can contain other arrays of variable names inside it; compact() handles it recursively.

Returns the output array with all the variables added to it.

<? $memorial = "Mount Rushmore National Memorial"; $city = "Keystone"; $state = "South Dakota"; $location = array("city", "state"); $return = compact("memorial", $location); print_r($return); ?>

Array
(
    [memorial] => Mount Rushmore National Memorial
    [city] => Keystone
    [state] => South Dakota
)
