Variable Variables in Arrays

[indieangler]

Hello,

I'm very new here. I tried posting this in a different forum but I think it fits better here and I'm going to try to simplify it. Here is the code I'm working with:

for ($i=0; i<10; i++)
{
     $arraynumber{$i}[0] = 5;
     $arraynumber{$i}[1] = 10;
}

I'm not actually trying to get THOSE values stored in the new array, it's just an example. I'm just trying to learn how to use the $i counter variable number in the name of the new array the loop creates every iteration. My goal is by the time the loop is done to be able to reference $arraynumber7[1] and get the value 10 (or whatever value I end up using in my actual script). Thanks for any help you can provide.

That should be right.

PHP Manual wrote:

In order to use variable variables with arrays, you have to resolve an ambiguity problem. That is, if you write $$a[1] then the parser needs to know if you meant to use $a[1] as a variable, or if you wanted $$a as the variable and then the [1] index from that variable. The syntax for resolving this ambiguity is: ${$a[1]} for the first case and ${$a}[1] for the second.

Variable Variables

So what you have should work.

But if you want to simplify it, consider making $arraynumber an array, instead of having a pile of $arraynumbern arrays. Then it would be e.g., $arraynumber[4][1].
