Bob Pilly asked earlier today:
> Does anyone know if you can assign a new variable name based on the
contents of another variable in PHP? If so whats the syntax to do this?
$counter = 1;
for ($i == 0; $i < 6; $i++) {
${'newVar_' . $counter} = $counter;
$counter++;
}
echo $newVar_1 . "<br />";
echo $newVar_2 . "<br />";
echo $newVar_3 . "<br />";
echo $newVar_4 . "<br />";
echo $newVar_5 . "<br />";
echo $newVar_6 . "<br />";
This displays:
1
2
3
4
5
6
Something like this maybe?
