$data[$n]

Hi, i'm rewriting a quiz script im working on becuase i found a better way to do it. This is going to be much "smarter" than the original. This piece of code is loading the questions from a file on the server. but im having a small problem. the $data[$n] part is not working. i replaced it with a text string and then the code worked so it's defently that part.

here is the code that is causing the problem, i've already pulled the $questioncount from the file, and everything else needed except for the questions and choices.

$n = 6;

if ($qc = fopen($quizfile, "r"))
{
	  for ($i=0; $i <= $questioncount; $i++)
     {

 while ($data = fgetcsv ($qc, 1000, "%"))
 {
       ${"q0" . $i . "01"} = $data[$n]; //Question
       $n++;
       ${"q0" . $i . "02"} = $data[$n]; //Choice 1
       $n++;
       ${"q0" . $i . "03"} = $data[$n]; //Choice 2
       $n++;
       ${"q0" . $i . "04"} = $data[$n]; //Choice 3
       $n++;
       ${"q0" . $i . "05"} = $data[$n]; //Choice 4
       $n=$n+2; //skip the answer
       //${"q0" . $i . "06"} = $data[$n]; //Answer
       //$n++;
 }

 }
fclose($qc);
}

anything in ( ) is not included in the file, its just to tell you what it is. also, linebreaks were added for the forums.

ok, what i did was switch the for and if

	  for ($i=1; $i <= $questioncount; $i++)
     {
     if ($qc = fopen($quizfile, "r"))
{

 while ($data = fgetcsv ($qc, 1000, "%"))
 {

       ${"q0" . $i . "01"} = $data[$n]; //Question
       $n++;
       ${"q0" . $i . "02"} = $data[$n]; //Choice 1
       $n++;
       ${"q0" . $i . "03"} = $data[$n]; //Choice 2
       $n++;
       ${"q0" . $i . "04"} = $data[$n]; //Choice 3
       $n++;
       ${"q0" . $i . "05"} = $data[$n]; //Choice 4
       $n=$n+2; //skip the answer

       //${"q0" . $i . "06"} = $data[$n]; //Answer
       //$n++;
 }
  fclose($qc);
 }

}
