note 8544 added to Variable Functions

Problem: I have a form submit n variables of the form $ss_1, $ss_2, ... , $ss_n . I now want to write a while loop that can go through and access each of these variables sequentially, but php won't recognize $ss_$i as a variable or $"ss_$i" as a variable where $i is the number of times through the while loop. Does anyone know how to get around this? thanks. -Jon Mormino jon@cph.georgetown.edu http://www.php.net/manual/ref.var.php
