[RESOLVED] Simple PHP question about variables

[captainscall]

if I have, for example

$timein1 = 'something';

$timeout3 = 'something else';

$inorout = 'in';
$n = '1';

can I use

print ${time.$inorout.$n} to get the result 'something'...?

It isn't working..

ok, I just tested that reality. apparently it works but my real code isn't doing what i want. Here goes:

function makeSelect($inorout, $x)
{
if ($inorout == "in")
	{$output = "<select name='timein$x' id='timein$x'>";}
elseif ($inorout == "out")
	{$output = "<select name='timeout$x' id='timeout$x'>";}

if (${time.$inorout.$x} == '') {$output .= "<option value='' selected='selected'></option>";}
else {$output .= "<option value=''></option>";}	


			for ($h = 6; $h <= 22; $h++)
			{
				if (${time.$inorout.$x} == '$h:00') {$output .= "<option value='$h:00' selected='selected'>$h:00</option>";}
				else { $output .= "<option value='$h:00'>$h:00</option>"; }

				if (${time.$inorout.$x} == '$h:15') {$output .= "<option value='$h:15' selected='selected'>$h:15</option>";}
				else { $output .= "<option value='$h:15'>$h:15</option>"; }

				if (${time.$inorout.$x} == '$h:30') {$output .= "<option value='$h:30' selected='selected'>$h:30</option>";}
				else { $output .= "<option value='$h:30'>$h:30</option>"; }

				if (${time.$inorout.$x} == '$h:45') {$output .= "<option value='$h:45' selected='selected'>$h:45</option>";}
				else { $output .= "<option value='$h:45'>$h:45</option>"; }


			}
			if (${time.$inorout.$x} == '23:00') {$output .= "<option value='23:00' selected='selected'>23:00</option>";}
			else {$output .= "<option value='23:00'>23:00</option>"; }

			if (${time.$inorout.$x} == '23:15') {$output .= "<option value='23:15' selected='selected'>23:15</option>";}
			else {$output .= "<option value='23:15'>23:15</option>"; }

			if (${time.$inorout.$x} == '23:30') {$output .= "<option value='23:30' selected='selected'>23:30</option>";}
			else {$output .= "<option value='23:30'>23:30</option>"; }
			
$output .= "</select>";

echo $output;
}

I posted another thread revising this question and for some reason I can't delete it so I'm marking it resolved
