Concatenating

[Anon]

Hi There,

I've got this bit of code like this:

if ("name"&&$i){
print "How are you?"
}

I'm trying to figure out how I can add text infront of a variable for PHP. I'm placing this code within a loop. So, the if evaluation would be something like:

if (name0)
if (name1)
if (name2)
if (name3)

and so on, until i hit the limit of my loop. How can I do this simple thing? Thanks for your help.

Use an array. For example:

if ($name[0])
if ($name[1])
if ($name[2])
if ($name[3])

You can use an array or "variable variables" for this situation. Usually, arrays are a good solution for this sort of problem...

<?php
reset ($name);
while (list(, $value) = each ($name)) {
If ($value) {
echo "How are you?";
}
}

?>

You can also use a regular for statement like this if you prefer:

for ($i=0; $i < sizeof($name); $i++) {
blah blah
}

Hope this helps!
