php variable combining

[votter]

Hello everybody.

I'm trying to just get something to work that seems so simple, but for some reason I can't seem to figure it out.

I'm just trying to have a variable like $test1 = 5; Then I have another variable that would be like $t = 1;

Is it possible so that you could do something like: $test.$i to get the $test1 result?

Thanks again for your time.

if you want to concat, yes:

PHP Code:

$a=1;
$b=2;
$c=$a.$b; //$c=12;

$c=$a+$b; // $c=3 


unless i misunderstand you

Yeah, I'll try to explain it better.

I'm trying to do something like this:

PHP Code:

$test1 = 5;
$a = 1;

echo $test.$a; 


And then the $test.$a when echoed should be echoing 5. I just wasn't sure if this was possible, even though it seems simple. lol

Maybe ${'test'.$t} would work? I dont see why you don't just use an array so $test[$t] would acess your particular value.

That worked, thanks. . Not sure why I couldn't get it earlier. lol.

And yeah, I was just seeing if I could get this way to work.

Thanks again.
