Variables in Variables

[OmniX]

I have a variable in a variable.

I have done this before but it is not working this time.

I have it in a for loop so my code is:

$abc1 = one;
 $abc2 = two;
 for($i = 0; $i < 2; $i++) {
  echo $$abc$i;  
 }

The out come should be "one two", correct?

The concept is correct? The code is correct? - to the best of my knowledge and references.

Any ideas? Thanks, Regards X.

The best way to do this would probably be an array:

$abc=array("value1","value2");

for($i = 0; $i < 2; $i++) {
echo $abc[$i];
}

Not sure exactly how variable variables work, but the PHP manual about them is here

The output will not be one two because $abc1 is one and not $abc0. Try this.

<?php 
$abc1 = "one";
 $abc2 = "two";
 for($i = 1; $i <= 2; $i++) {
  echo ${abc.$i}; //value of $i will be concatenated to string abc and then it will consider the whole as a variable  
 }
 ?>
