constructing variable from string

[ShaolinWood]

HI, probably a stupid question, but I have a number of variables, like

$var1 = "";
$var2 = "";
$var3 = "";

I need to add a string to one of them from a SQL query, to end up with the chosen one being:

$var2 = "Super"; or something like that. what will the correct syntax be? I currently have:

$templateOption1 = "";
	$templateOption2 = "";
	$templateOption3 = "";
	$toCheck = $data['templateId'];
	"$templateOption".$toCheck = "CHECKED";

Where

$data['templateId']

is from the SQL query, it returns a number

Thanks for any help!!

The stupid and long route but it works (since there's only 3 options)

if ($templatePreset == '1') {$templateOption1 = "CHECKED";}
if ($templatePreset == '2') {$templateOption2 = "CHECKED";}
if ($templatePreset == '3') {$templateOption3 = "CHECKED";}

You're looking to use variable variables.
