HELP: reffering to variable through variable (NOT an array!)

[PietjePuk]

Hi all,

I have a simple question (?)

Assume the following:

$x55=1001;
$y=55;

How can I get the value of $x55 with a variable that holds the numer 55 (like $y in this example)?

To clear up things a bit: in an array you'd simply say
(assuming $x[55]=1001);
echo $x[$y] which renders 1001, easy

But here I'm NOT using an array but variablenames with numers in them (too difficult to explain why)

Is this done through variable variables or with the eval function?
AND HOW? PLEASE?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Marcel

variable variables should work just fine...

$i = 0;
//The one we want to echo
$text0 = "output me";

$var = "text".$i;
echo $$var;  //the same as echoing $text0

hope that helps you out some

Hoi Kevin,

Didn't realise it's that simple but you helped me out a lot!
Great, thanks!
