How can I make a set of different strings using a loop? is it possible?

The following is just an example, but is exactly what I need to know to apply it to the real code. How can I do it?


/*THIS NUMBER WILL BE DEFFERENT EACH TIME */

$number = 5;

for ($i = 1; $i <= $number; $i++) {

/* THIS DOESNT WORK */

$string_$i = ($i + 5);

}

So the result should be:

$string_1 = 6;
$string_2 = 7;
$string_3 = 8;
$string_4 = 9;
$string_5 = 10;

arrays may be easier in the long run ... but anyway , look for 'variable variables' section of the manual...


<?php
$number = 5;

for ( $i = 1 ; $i <= $number ; ++$i ) {
${'string_'.$i} = $i + $number ;
}

echo $string_5;
?>

Thanks firepages, after a long fight it finally worked! :thumbsup:
