Question

Say I am echoing a large amount of variables in PHP and I wont to make it simple how do i do this? Currently my code is as follows but it is very tedious work to write out all the different variable names.

echo $variable1; echo $variable2; echo $variable3; echo $variable4; echo $variable5; 

You will notice the variable name is the same except for an incrementing number at the end. How would I write a script that prints echo $variable; so many times and adds an incrementing number at the end to save me writing out multiple variable names and just paste one script multiple times.?

Thanks, Stanni

You could use Variable variables:

for($x = 1; $x <= 5; $x++) {     print ${'variable'.$x}; } 

However, whatever it is you’re doing there is almost certainly a better way: probably using Arrays.
