creating dynamic variable names

[sde]

i want to create a new variable name for each result of a query.

for example: ( this is bad code )

PHP Code:

<?
// some query here
for($i=0;$i<$num;$i++)
{
  $object_$i=mysql_result($result,$i,"id");
}
?>

my goal would be to end up with variable names:
$object_0
$object_1
$object_2

is it possible to dynamically create variable names based on other variables?

yes sir.

something like this:

PHP Code:

$price = "1";
$i = "1";

$price = ${"price$i"};

echo "$price1"; 


returns 1 (i think)
