adding two variables to create one variable

[krappleby025]

simple one.. I have two variables

one variable is

$del
and the other is
$num

i need to take the $del and the $num and create one variable..

ie $num = 1
so i want to get $del1

in other words i want ot create

$del$num

any ideas

I'm not sure that it can be done... why you want to do that?

ok its simple

i have used the follwoing code *dont know how to use arrays yet, new to php

if ($num <> $numitems or $numitems == "0")
{
if ($del == "yes")
{
$query = "delete from orders where ipaddy = '$ipaddress' and plant = '$plant'";
mysql_query($Getorder) or die ("could not Delete order");
$num++;
}
}
else
{
header("Location: order.php?area=$Shipping");
}


this will delete the record if

del1 = yes
del2 = yes

i send a form with the variables

del1, plant1, del2, plant2, etc

and need to create a script, so that if del1 = yes then delete the plant from the databse

thanks

Try ${$del$num} Its a nice trick that is hard to find. You can be pretty creative with it..

${$del."-".$num} for example would be like saying $del-1 or $del-2

You can use any of the string operators inside the brackets.
