RE: [PHP] Making variables with an iteration?

I might be wrong but I don't think you can reference variable names in that way. You probably need something like this: for ($j=1, $j<5, $j++) { $tempChoice = "choice" . $j; $$tempChoice = $_POST['choice'.$j]; } And that should create your $choice1.. $choice2 etc. Andy. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Sossomon [mailto:robert_sossomon@ncsu.edu] Sent: Monday, 06 December 2004 14:29 To: PHP General List Subject: [PHP] Making variables with an iteration? I've got some inputs, which I need to tie down to only have 4 come in from. The javascript to verify it is working somewhat, however I want to create the parsing script to loop through the inputs (choice) and then dump them into $choice1, $choice2, $choice3, $choice4 respectively. I have to use checkboxes with different names with the javascript checkers I am using, since they seem to be working, however I can't seem to get the PHP in the parser to write the variables. Any ideas? <SNIP> for ($j=1, $j<5, $j++) { $choices.$j= $_POST['choice'.$i]; } Thanks, Robert -- Robert Sossomon, Business and Technology Application Technician 4-H Youth Development Department 200 Ricks Hall, Campus Box 7606 N.C.
