Variable Variables

PHP provides a way to dynamically create variable names.

Example: 

for ($i = 0; $i < $MAX; $i++) {
   $varname = "myVar$i";
   $value   = ${$varname};
   print "Value of $varname = $value\n";
}

Accesses variables called   myVar0,   myVar1,   myVar2, ...

Note: this is not the same as an array   myVar[0],   myVar[1],   myVar[2], ...
