variable within a varible question?

[galvin]

I have a  variable whose ending number will change, like...

 

$byesleft_user_1

$byesleft_user_2

$byesleft_user_3

etc, etc.

 

How can I use $i in place of that number.  I tried

$byesleft_user_{$i}

but that isn't working.  Anyone know the proper syntax?

The following should give you a clue of how to do it

$rand1 = "d";
$rand2 = "c";
$rand3 = "x";

for($i = 1; $i < 4; $i++){
$varName = "rand".$i;
echo $$varName . "<br />";
}

 

output:

d
c
x

The above is another method of passing the variable into another, but as for your original question you should do something like this:

${"byesleft_user_".$i}
