concatenating a variable and a string

[kihmm]

Hi, I was wonder if there is anyway to concatenate a variable and a string to make a new variable name. For example, I have several variables:

$question1
$question2
$question3

To save code I want to do something like (I know that this doesn't work)

for ($i = 1; $i < 4; $i++) {
$row = $db->fetch_object($result); // some data from database
$question . $i = $row->description; // so loop $question1
// $question2, etc
}

Does anyone know how to go about this?
Thanks,
Kathleen

i'd prefer using an array.....
if not possible in ur case, try this:

for ($i = 1; $i < 4; $i++) { 
  $row = $db->fetch_object($result);
  eval ("\$question".$i." = \$row->description;"); 
}

Awsome! Thanks, worked like a charm. I actually do use an array, but for posting checkboxes, I could only figure out how to do it this way.

Thanks again.

for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {  

if (isset($_POST["question100".$i]))
eval("\$question100".$i." = \$_POST[\"question100\"".$i."];");
else
eval ("\$question100".$i." = null;");  

}
