How To Get This Done ?

Sorry couldn't think of a way to describe in the title.

Ok here is what i want to achieve

$stuff1 = "This is stuff 1";

$num = 1;

Now

echo '$stuff'.$num ; //Should echo This is stuff 1

How can this be done ?

 

Something like this?

echo ${'stuff' . $num};

PHP:

 

Awesome ! Works like a charm... !

thnx a lot !

 

Not trying to be offensive. But that is the strangest method I've ever seen.

I thought this would of been the more "normal" method?

$stuff = 'This is stuff';
$num = 1;
echo $stuff .' '. $num; // This is stuff 1

PHP:

Either way, both works.

 

You don't even need the apostrophe's...

$stuff = "This is stuff";
$num = "1";
echo $stuff . $num; 

PHP:

 

That would return "This is stuff1". So in the example that I showed, you would.

 

I'm going to disagree, As far I can see, Clarky's method is the only one that would work in all circumstances in which you would use it.

... and it's what I would do myself, so it's got to be good </arrogance>

I think there's some confusion as to what is trying to be achieved. I believe the question was how to use a variable in the name of another variable - e.g. if $num was 2, the script would print out whatever the variable $stuff2 contains, not merely the contents of $stuff followed by the contents of $num.

 

just doing this like C king:

it is easy.
because $num variable automatically convered from integer to string.

 

No, Rodney and Clarky has hit the nail on the head (by judging the original post.)

Say we then had:

$stuff1 = 'This is just random fluff';
$stuff2 = 'This is more random fluff';
$num = 1;
Now
echo ${'stuff' . $num};

Would return: This is just random fluff - The intended output.
Whereas: echo $stuff .' '. $num;
Would return a notice and only : ' 1'

Why not use an array:

Funny thread

 

Let' make it more funny )

<?php
class stuff
{
function complicated_life($here_your_stuff)
{
if($here_your_stuff)
{
for($complicator=1;$complicator<=10000;complicator++)
{
$get_long_life.="<br>".$complicator."<br>";
}
}
return "This is long stuff".$get_long_life;
}


}

?>

 

You can accomplish this with the Zend Framework, but I personally prefer Codeigniter.

 

I am personally using Qcodo Framework which is easy to use.

 

It's called Variable variables in the PHP manual

http://php.net/variables.variable

 

echo "$stuff $num";

 

funny thread Continue developing ..

 

The very first post was correct, I don't know why people continue to post.

$stuff = 'This is stuff ';
$num = 1;
echo $stuff.$num;

Would be the best way to do it
