This is the first time I've come across this issue. How can I get a variable where the variable determines the variable to get.

$foobar_list = '123123';
$type = 'foobar'
echo {$type}_list;

  • Don't understand the downvote. It is impossible to search for something you don't know the name of. – Alex Mar 16 '17 at 06:37

Please refer to Dynamic variable names in PHP

As stated there, you need to access it as echo ${$type . '_list'}

Edit: fixed a typo
