variable and string combination

[collinPHP]

I have these variables posted in from a form

 

text0,text1,text2,text3,text4

 

I use this to retrieve these variables being posted

 

import_request_variables(gp, "formval_");

$tx0 = $formval_text0;

$tx1 = $formval_text1;

$tx2 = $formval_text2;

$tx3 = $formval_text3;

$tx4 = $formval_text4;

 

This works perfectly, but what I want to do is this:

 

$hn=5;

$startnum=0;

import_request_variables(gp, "formval_");

while ($startnum < $hn) {

$text_stuff=formval_text.$startnum;

echo $text_stuff;

$startnum++;

}

 

This is what is outputted

formval_text0formval_text1...

 

what I want is the contents of:

formval_text0

formval_text1...

 

So, my problem arises with this line

 

$text_stuff=formval_text.$startnum;

 

How might I change this line to get: formval_text0 , formval_text1 , formval_text2 , ...

 

Thank you

$text_stuff = ${'formval_text'.$startnum};

Of course if you didn't use import_request_variables() you could simply loop through the post array instead.
