you'll be wanting "pointers"
eg
$Var_1_Stat = "hello world";
$Num = 1;
$var_name = "Var_${Num}_Stat"; // set up the actual var name
$Var_Call = $$var_name; // now reference the actual var
echo $Var_Call; // should by "hello world" ...

Subject: [PHP] A variable with a variable
I never really found the trick to this one yet, and wanted to see what you
guys say is the best methods to call a variable that needs a variable.
Say I have variables called $Var_1_Stat, $Var_2_Stat, and $Var_3_Stat
and I have a variable called $Nums thats value is either 1, 2, or 3.
How then would I go about calling $Var_Call=$Var_$Num_Stat ? Or
$Var_Call="$Var_$Num_State".... hmm not hat wouldn't work?
So what do you guys suggest?
No if statements... since I want to know a way that can be used if I have
more then just 3 or a limited ammount of varaibles.
Thank you for your time,
Yoed
