Huzzah!
It worked. Thank you. It took quite a bit of work to figure out exactly how that function works, but I did finally figure it out, and I've got it working nicely.
Thank you.
Just so you know, this is the code I finally ended up using:
Code:
preg_match_all('/\'(.*)\'\,\"(.*)\"/', $setting, $settings, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
$tag = "yabb_".$settings[1][0];
$value = $settings[2][0];
$$tag = $value;
