I need to create a php file with a hundred variables, which are all identical except for their id.
PHP Code
$myvar1 = get_input('myvar1');
$myvar2 = get_input('myvar2');
$myvar3 = get_input('myvar3');
$myvar4 = get_input('myvar4');
...
$myvar100 = get_input('myvar100');
I wonder if it is possible to create only one line as a model, and is replicated 100 times?
Thanks.
Just store it in an array instead of 100 variables:
$myvar = Array();
for ($i = 1; $i <= 100; ++$i) {
$myvar[$i] = get_input('myvar' . $i);
}
Or if you want the indexes to start at zero:
$myvar = Array();
for ($i = 1; $i <= 100; ++$i) {
$myvar[$i - 1] = get_input('myvar' . $i);
}
array done wrong to you have starting index of 1? :(
get_input('myvar', 13) would be stored in $myvar[13]) or you can start the indexes at zero if you don't need them to match the input names.myvar that's alright. :)You really must use Arrays for this, its far more appropriate:
$myvar = Array();
for($i=1;$i<101;$i++) $myvar[$i]=get_input("myvar{$i}"); // $myvar[1]=... etc...
Anyway, its possible to create variable names dynamically (notice the '$$'):
for($i=1;$i<101;$i++){
$varName="myvar{$i}";
$$varName=get_input($varName);
}
you could store your variables in an array
$myvarArr = array();
for($i=0;i<100;i++) {
$myvarArr[$i] = get_input('myvar' . ($i+1));
}
Looks like you just need an array, an array right from the outside variable.
if you make your form field name like this
<input type="text" name="myvar[]">
<input type="text" name="myvar[]">
<input type="text" name="myvar[]">
<input type="text" name="myvar[]">
you can easily get all the values by as simple code as
$myvar = $_POST['myvar'];
get_input(...), not from $_POST, so this answer might not be applicable in this particular case.Just to show, that it's possible, use variable variables (i just love this php feature):
for ($i = 1; $i <= 100; $i++) {
$varName = "myvar{$i}"; // create variable name
$$varName = get_input("myvar{$i}"); // $$varName => $myvar5, when $i == 5 and so on
}
