variable name?

[hanpedro]

This code has error: Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING'

    for ($k=0; $k<2; $k++)
    {
        $m = $k+1;
        echo "$row["test_name{$m}"]";
     }

What am i miising?
I am expecting
test_name1, test_name2, test_name3....

Try

    for ($k=0; $k<2; $k++)
    {
        $m = $k+1;
        echo "\$row[\"test_name{$m}\"]";
     }

Thank you for your kindness.

Try

    for ($k=0; $k<2; $k++)
    {
        $m = $k+1;
        echo "\$row[\"test_name{$m}\"]";
     }

I've ommitted one line.
code is

    for ($k=0; $k<2; $k++)
    {
        $m = $k+1;
        $test_name = "gymnagis_kdf";
        echo "\$row[\"$test_name{$m}\"]";
     }

Thus, my expecting is;
gymnagis_kdf1, gymnagis_kdf2, gymnagis_kdf3....

for ($k=0; $k<2; $k++)
    {
        $m = $k+1;
        $test_name = 'gymnagis_kdf' . $m;
     } 

Instead of escaping characters, besides its faster.

Thanks Kurashu,

But this loop is nested.

while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
.....
    for ($k=0; $k<2; $k++)
    {
        $m = $k+1;
        echo "$row["$test_name{$m}"]";
     }
........
}

while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
...
    foreach $k (1..3)
    {
        echo $row[$test_name$k];
    }
...
}

/edit: oh crap. this is the php forum. sorry :-/

sorry, i seem to mix perl and php a lot lately. i've been going back and forth with the languages at work and its driving my batty.

[Kurashu]

while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
    for ($k=0; $k<2; $k++)
    {
        $m = $k+1;
        echo $row['test_name' . $m];
     }
} 

That is what you really want, if I am understanding you correctly.

[joeframbach]

why not ditch the $m=$k+1 and make the loop iterate from 1 to 3?
