generating variables from for loop

[GroundZero]

is there a way I can create variables inside a for loop each time it loop?

here is what I have:

//connect to database
$connect = odbc_connect("$DBname", "", "&quot or die("couldn't connect."

$connection=odbc_do($connect);
$num=odbc_num_fields($connection);
for ($i=1,$i<=$num,$i++)
$field($i)=odbc_field_name($connection,$i);


$field would be the variable that need to store value at each loop.I added the $i counter for it to be different everytime. Am I doing this the right way?

thank you in advance,

$field($i)=odbc_field_name($connection,$i);

To have the variables as $field1, $field2, etc, you need:

$$field$i = odbc...
