for loop variable question

[asa_carter]

Hi,

I have 5 variables: $friend1, $friend2, $friend3, $friend4, $friend5

What is the syntax for accessing these from within a for loop. So in the first loop I access $friend1, then $friend2 second time round etc..

E.g.

for ($i=1; $i<6; $i++)
{
echo $friend??????????

}

Thanks,

Asa

This should do the trick:

for ($i=1; $i<6; $i++)
{
  $var="friend".$i;
  echo $$var;
}
