checkbox loop?

[Anon]

Yes i've looked in the message board.

$category1 = One;
$category2 = Two;
$category3 = Three;
via a loop, respectively.

via use of a form i pass the values down to the following:

$counts = 0;
while(such and such)
{
$categorynow = "$category$counts";
echo $categorynow;
$counts++;
}

How do I get categorynow to read as $category1?

I've also tried
$categorynow = '$category'.$counts;

help please

I mean i want $category now to read as "One", "Two" and "Three".. etc... not as the word $category1;

$categorynow = ${'category'.$counts};
