"for" loops with variable names...

[Ralgoth]

using Flash, I'm sending a bunch of variables to my php script that have ordered names. What I want is to use a "for" loop to identify each variable. This is how I would do it in Flash but don't know how to do it in php...

for(i=0; i<3; i++){
    this["Item"+i] = i;
}
 
// the above code would be identical to typing the following...
 
Item0 = 0;
Item1 = 1;
Item2 = 2;
 
 

granted i know there's normally a $ for variables in php... but my real concern is how to get this["Item"+i] = i; to work.

Thanks for any help

i found the answer...

for($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++){
    ${"Item".$i} = $i;
}
