15,367 Pointscombining variables to create another variable?
Say I wanted this write this php line amongst others
$output = $output . $count_xd . "xd";
I also have an array with values ('xd','fed','id')
is there a way that from within a loop i can output
$output = $output . $count_xd . "xd";
$output = $output . $count_fed . "fed";
$output = $output . $count_id . "id";
without having to write each one? so like
$output = $output . $count_'.$b.' . "'.$b.'";
I know it's wrong, but I hope you get the idea. Thanks guys!

I'm taking a guess what your attempting to do is to concatenate the data in one variable into another?
If so, then you would just run the array through a foreach loop.
I would recommend doing the https://teamtreehouse.com/library/php-basics the PHP conditionals & loops section to get a better idea on how you can do just what your asking.

All I was asking is how to dynamically create variables through looping. If you don't know then don't answer. Lol. I'll give you a point for that last sentence.
