variable variables question

I'm a bit unclear on the variable variables section of the PHP manual.
Here's what I want to accomplish:

$01_varA="foo"
$02_varA="bar"
$03_varB="boo"
$04_varB="far"

"01" through "04" are being gathered via mysql query as "id" in the
example.


I want to do this.....

$sql_query=("SELECT * from database");

while ($sql_array=($sql_query)){
echo $sql_array["id"] . "_varA";
echo $sql_array["id"] . "_varB";
}

....so that it will echo the values of $01_varA, $02_varA, $03_varB and
$04_varB in no particular order.

re: variable variables question

print ${$sql_array['id'] . '_varA'};

Any reason you're not using arrays? :)

This did the trick! Thanks a ton!
