[SOLVED] Variable name from variable ?

[demon_athens]

Hi there,

 

I want to create some variables that equal something in a loop. How can I have a variable name created by other variable?

 

For example ( this is not working but you will understand what I am trying to do)

 

$i=1;
$mitsos.$i = "test";
echo "<br>".$mitsos1;

 

This should be very easy, but I am really stuck here.

hm..very damn question. An array should be fine. never mind thanks!

I know you said that your question was answered, but here's the correct answer below (for future reference):

 

For this you want to use curley-braces to evaluate the variables before creating a new variable:

<?php
$i = 1;
${mitsos . $i} = 'test';
echo '<br>' . $mitsos1;
?>

 

Hope this helps.
