[Resolved] variable number of variables

[NoBullMan]

Hi,
I want to add some values to an array where the number of values can change. I want to loop through, say 1 to 5, and create variable names by appending numbers 1 to 5 to some variable name.

$max = 5;
for ($i = 0; $i < $max; $i++)
{
array_unshift($some_arr, $xxxx);
}
where $xxxx should be $var1, $var2, ..., $var5... ($var.$i)
How do I set up the variable name before inserting it into the array.

Thanx.

I'm not sure exactly what you want but heres what I think you want.

$var0 = "Hello";
$var1 = "World";
$var2 = "Goodbye";
$var3 = "Cruel";
$var4 = "World";

$some_arr = array();

$max = 5; 
for ($i = 0; $i < $max; $i++) 
{ 
   $current = "var" .  "$i";
   array_unshift($some_arr, $$current); 
}

foreach($some_arr as $current_value) 
{
   echo "$value<BR>";
}

Not sure what the array_unshift does but I think it probably just adds that value to the array.

Sorry I cant test it because I'm at school but that should work.

Or possibly this:

$var0 = 'a';
$var1 = 'b';
$var2 = 'c';
$var3 = 'd';
$var4 = 'e';
$var_base = 'var'; 
$max = 5; 
for ($i = 0; $i < $max; $i++) 
{
    $xxxx = ${$var_base . $i};
    echo $xxxx . '<br />';
}
