Thank you curly brackets!

The braces aren't actually needed

PHP Code:

foreach($vars as $key => &$val) $$key =& $val;

---

Or you could do:

PHP Code:

extract($vars);

---

If it's for some templating system, you could just directly reference the array.  If a full templating system, I'd probably pre-parse it into .php files and reference the array that way.
