title: Loop through variables with common name
body: <p>At first glance I think you can get what I'm trying to do. I want to loop though variables with the same name but with a numerical prefix. I also had some confusion about the kind of loop I should use, not sure if a "for" loop would work.  The only thing is I can't wrap my head around how php could interpret "on the fly" or fabricated variable. Ran into some trouble with outputting a string with a dollar sign as well. Thanks in advance!</p>
  
  <pre><code>$hello1 = "hello1";
  $hello2 = "hello2";
  $hello3 = "hello3";
  $hello4 = "hello4";
  $hello5 = "hello5";
  $hello6 = "hello6";
  $hello7 = "hello7";
  $hello8 = "hello8";
  $hello9 = "hello9";
  $hello10 = "hello10";
  
  for ( $counter = 1; $counter &lt;= 10; $counter += 1) {
      echo $hello . $counter . "&lt;br&gt;";
  }
  </code></pre>
