[Resolved] Can't get my head round variable concatenation

[The_Chancer]

I am having problems getting my head round this..

$var="hello World";
$def="var";
echo $$def;

Will give you hello World...

That much I know - but I can't get it to work as I need... (too little caffiene - too little sleep ? Who knows...)

What I need is:
I have an array, made from

$hotels=explode("<~~>",$e['hotels']);

So $hotels is the array...
Now I need a variable like:

$hotelval.$hotels[$z] = 0;

And later on I add to the $hotelval.$hotels[$z] variable...
Ideally the $hotelval.$hotels[$z] var should end up like
$hotelval701 ... But I am at a loss as to how to do this...

Any pointers ??

Cheers,

Not sure if you mean
${$hotelval.$hotels[$z]}=0;
or
${'hotelval'.$hotels[$z]}=0;
I think it's the latter
