How would I build this array / loop?

[noahyamen]

Ok so I'll try to explain what I'm trying to do the best I can. I want to build an array that allows me to add/remove/modify the variables used at any point in time without having to rebuild or rewrite a ton of new code.

 

For example, below is an example list of variables I'd like to use in the array, followed by the code I would like to be automatically repeated.

 

Example Variables: $materialName1, $materialName2, $materialName3, $materialName4, $materialName5, $materialName6 etc etc etc

Example Code to repeat:

echo "<tr><td>Material: $materialName1</td><td>Rate: $materialName1Rate</td><td>Weight: $materialName1Weight</td></tr>";

 

Hopefully that makes sense. As always, very appreciated.

You can have multidimensional arrays in php very easily.  With that said, it's really not clear what you're asking for here or why.

As gizmola suggested, using a multidimensional array should work. The following tutorial shows a few ways to set up and loop through a multidimensional array:
