How can I refactor this variables assignment in foreach loop code?

Question

The code is:

foreach($page->items as $item) {
  switch ($item->var) {
    case 'var1': $var1 = $item; break;
    case 'var2': $var2 = $item; break;
    case 'var3': $var3 = $item; break;
    // ...
    case 'varN': $varN = $item; break;
    default: // do nothing
  }
}

I would like to make each item var to be assigned to a "named variable" e.g. $var1 in case of var1.

foreach($page->items as $item) {
  ${$item->var} = $item;
}

Inspired by this.
