Variable being interpreted as string

Ok folks - it's been a long shift and my brain is not at full power -

Heres the situation -

page1 contains a form with 10 or so series of radio button selections (yes/ no) - their names on the form are

rb_yesno1
rb_yesno2
rb_yesno3
etc...

page 2 - contains a script to simply display what was entered in the previous page - [think confirmation page]

I've created a loop to go through the number of radio buttons - so I can retrieve their values.

Anybody have any idea why when I try and create varaibles names dynamically via the loop my variables are interpreted as strings.

note: not actual code
ex:
$counter = 1;

while()
{
$choice = "\$rb_yesno".$counter;

 print("$choice <BR>");

 $counter++;

}

I get the variable name and not the value printed -
if I'm being dumb slap me later - right now I'd like to get this done...

cheers all

you should create an array of raido buttons.

then use a for each loop to get the values

for each($radbutton as $Value){
Print $Value;
}

Or you can get the values individualy by saying

Print $radbutton[0];
Print $radbutton[1];
Print $radbutton[2];

Tis the end of the day here in old blighty, but methinks you could use eval() to evaluate the string:

eval("\$choice = \"$rb_yesno\".\"$counter\";");

I think, maybe.

thanks array worked like charm 😃

May be,you could try this:
$counter = 1;

while()
{
$choice = "rb_yesno".$counter;

print("$$choice <BR>");

$counter++;
}
