galvin Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Ultimately I will be echoing variables like $mycode1 and $mycode2 and $mycode3, etc, etc. But before I get there, I am creating those variables inside for loops (which are using $i to count), so what is the proper way to write out that "variable within a variable" while I'm creating them? For example, this clearly isn't right (i tried it and it's not working)... $mycode$i = "stuff"; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/241737-variables-within-variables/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyKay47 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 without seeing your code and logic here, I can't help a whole lot can you please post your code Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/241737-variables-within-variables/#findComment-1241551 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zander1983 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 You should use an array. For example: for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++){ $arr[$i] = "some text ".$i; } echo $arr[5]; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/241737-variables-within-variables/#findComment-1241580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 zander1983 has it right, use arrays. They will be much easier to understand and perform better. If you want to just know how to get your code to work: $i=0; $temp = 'mycode' . $i; $$temp = "stuff"; echo $mycode0; Should do it, this technique is called, variables variable.
