variable issue

[gple]

for ($i=0;$i<10;$i++)

{

$seed.$i=$array[0];

}

 

i want to assign 10 variables ($seed0 through $seed9). How do i do that with the above?

Does that now work?

no

You cannot concatenate variable names like that.

 

$this.$that = 'something'

 

Does not work.

 

You have to actually assign them all.

 

$seed0 = $array[0]

$seed1 = $array[1]

etc..

This is how you would accomplish the task.

 

<?php
for ($i=0;$i<10;$i++)
{
$seed = "seed$i";
$$seed =$array[0];
}
?>

 

The part that makes this possible is that two "$" dollar signs together will form a variable name with the string contained in the second $ variable.

 

I do however question the need for this in this example as any variable with numbers assigned after it should be stored in an array to make it easier to loop, sort, or move the variables around if necessary.
