[Resolved] variables within variable names

[sstromer]

I have searched everywhere. Please help! I need to set a variable with a name like $product1_style to null, where the 1 in the variable name is itself a variable that has been passed to the page via a form field named removalNo. So, basically, two things have to happen at the same time.

I tried to use eval() in the following code snipet, as a very similar construction works in Javascript, and I understand that eval() is a reluctantly, but frequently, used function in PHP.

$removalNo = $REQUEST['removalNo'];
eval("\$product" . $removalNo . "style = null");

Thanks!

You should just use variable variables

Got it! Works perfect! I figured there had to be a very established method for this! Thank you. I will mark resolved.
