Is it possible to set variable as part of other variable's name

Question

I have summarized data of many kinds of fruits like apple, melon, orange, pear, grape,... etc. My code below works ok, but I like to make it template if possible.

<?php $fruit_name='apple' ?>
<?php include("args.php")?> // Using $fruit_name as condition of $args, and $number is caculated then.
<?php $number_apple_fruit = $number;?> // Store $number to $num_apple_fruit to distinguish data from other fruit data.

Im wondering if I can set "apple" on position of AAAAA below automatically on third line.

<?php $fruit_name='apple' ?>
<?php include("args.php")?>
<?php $number_AAAAA_fruit = $number;?>

Is it possible to set variable to part of other variable's name?

Answer 1

You can use variable variables

${'number_'.$fruit_name.'_fruit'} = $number;
