Variable Variables

[melaniehayes]

Okay I tested a few things, and when I try to show the value of $lye$i, I get a parse error. When I try to call ${lye$i}, I get a parse error! I have a lot of values for $lye, so I have a loop entering their values as $lye1, $lye2, etc. This then is supposed to pull the values of that particular variable and replace it, but I can't get it right.

How do I do this without getting a parse error?

Thanks,

try

${"lye".$i}

If this is in a loop you could try:

$tempvar = $lye$i;

and when you call it use $$tempvar (note the TWO $$)

be carefull, you will get parse error on line $tempvar = $lye$i;
