dynamic variable names?

[DavidSeck.com]

Hi guys,

first post :)

my question: is it possible to have dynamic variable names, I mean
something like this:

for($i=0;$i<x;$i++){
$y_$i = blabla;
}

in other words I want the number of the loop to be displayer in the
name of the variable.

Thanks for help.

They're called "variable variables" and there is a whole section about them
in the PHP manual.

for($i=0;$i<x;$i++){
$y_$i = blabla;
}

in other words I want the number of the loop to be displayer in the
name of the variable.

In this case, you'll be better off using arrays.

Not sure why but you can do it one of two ways:
<code>
<? php
for ($i=0; $i < 10; $i++) {

if ($i == 0) {
$$i = "This is the first loop.";
$y_{$i} = "This is the first loop.";
}

if ($i == 1) {
$$i = "This is the second loop.";
$y_{$i} = "This is the second loop.";
}

if ($i == 2) {
$$i = "This is the third loop.";
$y_{$i} = "This is the third loop.";
}

if ($i == 3) {
$$i = "This is the fourth loop.";
$y_{$i} = "This is the fourth loop.";
}

if ($i == 4) {
$$i = "This is the fifth loop.";
$y_{$i} = "This is the fifth loop.";
}

if ($i == 5) {
$$i = "This is the sixth loop.";
$y_{$i} = "This is the sixth loop.";
}

if ($i == 6) {
$$i = "This is the seventh loop.";
$y_{$i} = "This is the seventh loop.";
}

if ($i == 7) {
$$i = "This is the eighth loop.";
$y_{$i} = "This is the eighth loop.";
}

if ($i == 8) {
$$i = "This is the nineth loop.";
$y_{$i} = "This is the nineth loop.";
}

if ($i == 9) {
$$i = "This is the tenth loop.";
$y_{$i} = "This is the tenth loop.";
}

}

$x = 0;
while ($x < 10) {
echo $$x . "<br />";
echo $y_{$x} . "<br />";
$x++;
}

?>
</code>

** correction **
Not sure why but you would want to do it but you could do it one of
two ways:

It is possible, read about Variable Variables
http://www.php.net/manual/en/languag...s.variable.php
but why the hell you want it that way?
Use arrays instead.

<?php

for($i = 0; $i < x; $i++)
{
$y[$i] = blabla;
}

?>

Much clearer and impose no problem for later work with that variable.

P.S.
Use spaces in your code. It makes code at least more readable, if not understandable.

That would confuse me at first glance, would think it was an array,
but I never thought of doing it like that. #376 of millions of ways to
skin a cat :)

It is an array. That's the whole point.
