I have a regular for loop - for($i=1; $i<100; $i++) Within the loop I need to create variables named: $p1name; $p2name; $p3name; etc. The integer portion of each variable name needs to be the value of $i. I can't seem to get my syntax correct? Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks. Albert Padley

If you really want to keep the p?name syntax, I would suggest throwing them in an array with keys. $arr["p1name"] $arr["p2name"] Then that way you can create the key dynamically: $arr["p".$i."name"] Not pretty, but it works. Thanks,

I haven't checked this, but couldn't you reference it as $arr["p$iname"] ? Is there a reason why variable expansion wouldn't work in this circumstance? If it does, you could make it easier to read by doing $arr["p{$i}name"] even though the {} aren't required. It'd be a lot easier to read than concatenations :) Regards, Adam.
