Basic For Loop Help

[justinhn]

Hi Guys,

I have a general enquiry about PHP syntax. I'm having trouble creating a VERY simple for loop using PHP, i think the best way to explain this is by an example:
say if i want to create a loop which changes the values of different variables of incrementing names at every loop, how would i do this:

$date1 = sunday
$date2 = monday
$date3 = tuesday
... $date7 = saturday

for ($i=1; $i<8; $i++) {
$date.$i==1;
}

the above code doesnt work, i hope you guys can see what im trying to do here.
trying to amend $date1 == 1, then $date2 == 1... $date7== 1.

What should be the correct code for $date.$i==1?

Thanks,
- Justin

This should achieve what you want.

for ($i = 0; $i < 8; $i++) {
	${date.$i} = 1;
}

It would really be better if u use array for this

$date[1] = 'sunday';
$date[2] = 'monday';
$date[3] = 'tuesday';
// ...
$date[7] = 'saturday';

for($i = 1; $i < 8; $i++)
{
        $date[$i] = 1;
}
