variable variable why this wouldn't work

[kbrij]

Why wouldn't this work ??
What am i doing wrong here ?

all i want is create variable on the 'fly' ...

for ($i=0 ; $i<3 ; $i++) {
$matrix{$i} = $number_array[$i] ;
}

     echo "<br>" ;
     print($matrix0);
    echo "<br>" ;
     print($matrix1);
    echo "<br>" ;
     print($matrix2);
    echo "<br>" ;

Almost had it 😉

for ($i=0 ; $i<3 ; $i++) { 
${$matrix$i} = $number_array[$i] ; 
} 

echo "<br>" ; 
print($matrix0); 
echo "<br>" ; 
print($matrix1); 
echo "<br>" ; 
print($matrix2); 
echo "<br>" ;

You almost had it too 😉

$varprefix = 'matrix';
for ($i=0 ; $i<3 ; $i++) { 
${$varprefix$i} = $number_array[$i] ; 
} 

echo "<br>" ; 
print($matrix0); 
echo "<br>" ; 
print($matrix1); 
echo "<br>" ; 
print($matrix2); 
echo "<br>" ;

$matrix isnt a variable he was using.. only the prefix he wanted....

may work as ${matrix$i} also... I just corrected it the simlpest way first

its always that little miniscule things that ruin my code ;-)
