variable names

[mister_t101]

is there a way to create a variable with the name of a value of another variable?


for example


$foo=1;

dynamically create a variable named $1

$foo+=1;

dynamically create a variable named $2

You probably want to look at [a href=\"http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php\" target=\"_blank\"]variable variables.[/a]
[code]<?php
$one = 'two';
$$one = 'three'; // this is equivalent to $two = 'three';
echo '$one = ' . $one . '<br>';
echo '$$one = ' . $$one . '<br>';
echo '$two = ' . $two . '<br>';
?>[/code]

variables that start with a number are invalid so you might want to name your variables like so:
$_1;
$_2;
etc.

As they are valid
