Question

Here are the variables:

$fake= 'cool';
$fake1 = 'not cool';
$hope= '1';

The idea is to combine $fake and the $hope to create the variable $fake1. The idea is that if the $hope variable was randomized it could generate a random variable: $fake1, $fake2, $fake3, etc. Right now I either get an error or just the values of $fake and $hope next to each other not the new variable.

Ben’s comment above does probably exactly what you’re looking for, but if you’re in PHP5 you can also do something like:

 $varname = $fake . $hope;
 $$varname = "horray";
