Simple question about incrementing variable names.

[justhost]

Hello

I was wondering how I could use a for loop to say assign Item1, Item2, Item3, ... ItemN.

Instead of doing:

$item1=1;
$item2=2;
$item3=3;
...
$itemN=N;

Very simple example of what I am trying to do but...answering this will solve all of my other issues...and greatly simplify my code.

Thanks in advance.

One way would be to use an array:

$item = array();
for ($i = 1; $i <= $n; $i++) {
	$item[$i] = $i;
}

Another way would be to use variable variables:

for ($i = 1; $i <= $n; $i++) {
	${'item' . $i} = $i;
}

I would recommend using the array method.
