variable variables

Question

how do i create variable variables inside a for loop?

this is the loop:

for ( $counter = 1; $counter <= $aantalZitjesBestellen; $counter ++) {

}         


        

Answer 1

(Expanded for clarity - you may be able to do a one-liner)

for ( $counter = 1; $counter <= $aantalZitjesBestellen; $counter ++) {
    $varname = 'seat' . $counter;
    $$varname = $POST[$varname];
}

BUT! You really shouldn't do this. (And if you really must, see cletus' answer for the built-in PHP way to do it - this is considered bad practice too, though.)

Reconsider your problem and see if arrays might be the solution (I guess it will). This will make both inspection (via e.g. var_dump()) and iteration easier and does not pollute the global variable space.
