This doesn't seem to work. Here's my demo.
<?
$wins_1=7;
$losses_1=0;
$sort_1=1;
$wins_2=4;
$losses_2=4;
$sort_2=2;
$wins_3=3;
$losses_3=4;
$sort_3=3;
$wins = 0;
for ($counter=1; $counter<=3; $counter++) {
$var = "$wins_$counter";
$wins = $wins + $$var;
echo($wins);
}
?>
This returns 000, it should return 743
