PHP dynamically creating variable to split array - php

Question

<?php
$my_array = array("hello","world","howareu");
$c = count($my_array);
for($i=0;$i<=$c;$i++){
$v = '$var'.$i;
$splited = list($v) = $my_array;
}
?>
input:
$my_array
But expected output:
if I echo $var0, $var1, $var2;
hello, world, howareu
How to create dynamic PHP variables based upon the array count and then convert them into a list as a string?

Answer 1

You do not need list for that. $$ will suit you perfectly.
$my_array = array("hello", "world", "howareu");
foreach ($my_array as $key => $val)
{
$a = 'var'.$key;
$$a = $val;
}
echo $var0,", ", $var1,", " $var2;
Take a look here - Variable variables
Added:
or if you need count and for
for ($i = 0; $i < count($my_array); $i++)
{
$a = 'var'.$i;
$$a = $my_array[$i];
}
echo $var0,", ", $var1,", " $var2;
Of course, this line echo $var0,", ", $var1,", " $var2; sucks and looks like crap :) But in order to receive EXACTLY what you want, you need to modify variables, output like I've wrote, or use some function like implode with grue ', '.
Updated:
But if you need just that output, why not to use simple implode(', ', $my_array) :)

Answer 2

it's a matter of the data you need to process...if it's pretty static, you don't need the second foreach() for example, since you compare the keys anyways...
foreach($datavalueas $resultdatakey=>$resultdatavalue){
if($resultdatakey== 'A'){
//stuff for a
}
if($resultdatakey== 'B'){
//stuff for b
}
}
would become
if(isset($datavalueas['A'])){
//stuff for a
}
if(isset($datavalueas['B'])){
//stuff for b
}
since the foreach uses copies of the array, which are pretty bad for the performance...

Assuming i got your question right, you could use something like:
$array = array( 'x', 'y', 'z' );
foreach ($array as $name )
$$name = rand(1,100);
var_dump($x);
the $$ is key here, the first $ implies the variable as the second $ is used as the identifier for the variable. In this case the value being iterated over in the array. Giving us 3 variables: $x, $y, $z.
-- edit:
the correct code, besides using extract():
<?php
$my_array = array("hello","world","howareu");
$c = count($my_array);
for($i=0;$i < $c;$i++){
$v = 'var'.$i;
$$v = $my_array[$i];
}
echo "$var0, $var1, $var2";
?>

You can create dynamic variables via variables variable as Mr.kovpack have stated here. In below code you can access the variables from 0 to $c-1(count of array) as per your comment to Mr.kovpack.
$my_array = array("hello","world","howareu");
$c = count($my_array);
for($i=0;$i<=$c-1;$i++){
${'var'.$i} = $my_array[$i]; //Dynamic variable creation
// $splited = list($v) = $my_array;
}
echo $var0.$var1.$var2;
or you could use like below:
$my_array = array("hello","world","howareu");
$c = count($my_array);
for($i=0;$i<=$c-1;$i++){
$a='var'.$i;
$$a = $my_array[$i];
}
echo $var0."-".$var1."-".$var2;
