Question

I know this is not the proper way to do this, however I am trying to put a quick fix on a form that was done by another developer. Basically I want to add an incremental number to a variable inside a while statement:

$count = 1;
while ($r = mysql_fetch_array($query)) {
    $variable . $count = $r['somefield'];
        $count++
}

So that makes the variables:

$variable1
$variable2
$variable3
….etc

Answer 1

$varname = 'variable' . $count;
$$varname = $r['somefield'];
