Variable variables

[Anon]

is there a way that i can set a variable using a variable as part of the original variables string(i know sounds confusing)

I wana do this
Lets say I have 10 variables called $cell0 through $cell9
I want to set all of these variables to the string "Hello World"

can I use a for statement to do this like

for($num = 0;num <10;num++)
{
$cell$num = "Hello World";

}

Basicaly I want to append the $num as a string onto the variable name.

Arrays would be easier, however, here is a solution I came up with:

for ($num=0; $num<10; $num++)
{
$name=cell.$num;
$$name = "Hello World";
}

There might be a one-line solution, but I can't think of it.

Good luck

$cell0 = $cell1 = $cell2 = $cell3 = $cell4 = $cell5 = $cell6 = $cell7 = $cell8 = $cell9 = "Hello World";

Use curly brackets:

<?php

for ($num=0; num<10; num++) {
${"cell$num"} = 'Hello World';
}

?>
