Variable in variable name?

[Kevin Torr]

Apparently there is a way to reference a variable from a variable

something like:

$name = "Variable";
for ($i = 0, $i <= 50, $i++)
{
$name$i = rand(); //create a variable called 'Variable1', 'Variable2',
'Variable3' ........ 'Variable 50'
echo $name$i . "<br>";
}


I can't find anything on php.net on how to do this... someone once told me
it was with $$varname...
Any help?

Thanks

$name = "Variable";
for ($i=0; $i<=50; $i++)
{

${$name.$i} = rand();

}

echo $Variable3;

use eval()?
