creating php variables on the fly

[gklinux]

i have a script that should
-read a directory
-grep for files with a certain prefix <int n>
-create php variable called $in<n> for each match
found and assign the filename to it
-the variable will then be used by fopen....

is it possible to create variables on the fly
witnin the while loop ?
i am not using OO in php.
should i?

Hi,
you can use $$varname syntax:

for($i=0;$i<100;$i++)
{
$varname="in".$i;
$$varname="this is var number ".$i;
}

Else you can use array...

for($i=0;$i<100;$i++)
{
$in[]="this is var number ".$i;
}

see you
