Re: using print instead of echo

At 9/7/2002, you wrote:

the example I have below.. I'm able to get working using the 'echo' command. But I would like to know how to format the same using the 'print' command. I am familiar with both. but with this one instance I am not sure how to format the print command correctly to get the same results as the echo command. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

        $variable1[0]="one";
        $variable2[0]="two";
        $variable3[0]="three";
        $variable4[0]="four";

        $j=1;
        while($j<5){
                echo ${"variable"."$j"}[0];
                $j++;
        }

Hi, I don't get it, it works identically with echo and with print, doesn't it?

        $variable1[0]="one";
        $variable2[0]="two";
        $variable3[0]="three";
        $variable4[0]="four";

        $j=1;
        while($j<5){
                print ${"variable"."$j"}[0];
                $j++;
        }

If you get kicks from odd coding styles you might also use eval :)

        $variable1[0]="one";
        $variable2[0]="two";
        $variable3[0]="three";
        $variable4[0]="four";

        $j=1;
        while($j<5){
                eval("print \"\$variable" . $j . "[0]<br>\";");
                $j++;
        }
