I have these seven php variables:
$dataA = 1; $targetA = 2; $dataB = 3; $targetB = 4; $dataC = 5; $targetC = 6; results = array('A','B','C');
I would like to loop through the results array and pass the corresponding variables to a function.
foreach($results as $value) { $data = '$data'.$value; $target = '$target'.$value; buildOutput('$data'.$value,'$target'.$value); } // example, first time thru, wish to pass $dataA variable and $targetA variable function buildOutput($data,$target) { echo "data=$data,target=$target<br>"; // echo's strings "$dataA" and "$targetA" }
I cannot figure out how to declare the variables. Or if this is even possible.
I have more than just $data and $target variables, but I simplified down to two for the question.

I would not recommend using it, but try this:
$dataA = 1; $targetA = 2; $dataB = 3; $targetB = 4; $dataC = 5; $targetC = 6; $results = array('A','B','C'); foreach($results as $value) { buildOutput(${'data'.$value}, ${'target'.$value}); } function buildOutput($data, $target) { echo "data=$data,target=$target<br>"; }
