Vreating a new variable from a variable

[Tim_Christopher]

I have a small bunch of variables like $toAddress and $toName and want to create the variables $toAddress_Error and $toName_Error etc. for each of them if there is an error (in this case if they are empty).

Is there a way to do this in one go, eliminating the need for the 2nd line in the if statement?

 
    if (empty($$field)) 
    { 
      $errorFound = true ; 
      $errorVariable = $field.'_Error' ; // <<<----- how can I delete this line??? 
      $$errorVariable = "Error: Please enter your ".$formErrors[$key] ; 
    }

we need the script and the things that could go wrong like user not entering stuff...

unlike VB.net, php doesn't have try and catch 🙁
