Re: setting the same value to multiple variables

You could use variable variables with an array, like this: $arr = array('readingGoalsEnjoymentLabelClass','readingGoalsInformationLabelClass',

    'readingGoalsAlphabeticLabelClass','readingGoalsPrintLabelClass',
    'readingGoalsPhonologicalLabelClass','readingGoalsPhoneticLabelClass',

'readingGoalsComprehensionLabelClass','readingGoalsVocabularyLabelClass',

    'readingGoalsInstructionsLabelClass','readingGoalsCriticalLabelClass',
    'readingGoalsCommunicateLabelClass');

foreach ($arr as $var) {

    ${$var} = 'class="errorHere"';

} /* This is to check if it was done correctly. */ foreach ($arr as $var) {

    echo "$var = ${$var}\n";

Hi, I'm sure this is quite basic. Nonetheless I'm new to PHP so I haven't figured it out. I'd like to set each variable to the same value (without having to set that value individually for each variable). Thanks for the help. best, Charles if ( 1 == 1 ) {

    $goodToGo = 0; $errorArray[] = "You must declare some goals on Activity 1.";

// this block of code does not set each variable to "class=\"errorHere\"";

    $readingGoalsEnjoymentLabelClass &&       $readingGoalsInformationLabelClass &&
    $readingGoalsAlphabeticLabelClass &&       $readingGoalsPrintLabelClass &&       $readingGoalsPhonologicalLabelClass &&
    $readingGoalsPhoneticLabelClass &&       $readingGoalsComprehensionLabelClass &&
    $readingGoalsVocabularyLabelClass &&       $readingGoalsInstructionsLabelClass &&
    $readingGoalsCriticalLabelClass &&       $readingGoalsCommunicateLabelClass = "class=\"errorHere\"";
