PHP - Concatenating two variables

I'm a newbie stumped on the following. If I'm including an external file on a page that contains the following variable:

$blurb_78 = "Lorem ipsum dolor.";

How can I echo $blurb_78 on the local page? (where the 78 part is a generated article ID set to a variable labeled, $id)

The following doesn't work:

echo $blurb_.$id;

Th开发者_StackOverflow中文版anks much for your help.

I think you mean a variable variable name like it is mentioned at the Variable variables page on the PHP site. In your case this should work fine:

echo ${'blurb_'.$id}; 

But I highly doubt your approach on this one.

Try making an array:

$blurb = array();

$blurb[78] = "Lorem ipsum";

echo $blurb[$id];

You should use an associative array instead of variables in your case.

Check this article in PHP official documentation:

• http://php.net/manual/es/language.types.array.php

This is your answer:

 echo '$blurb_'.$id;

Still, an associative array is the way to go.

Try

<?php
$blurb_78 = 'Lorem ipsum dolor.';
$id = 78;
echo ${'blurb_'.$id};
?>

---

echo ${'blurb_'.$id};

This should work for concatenating two variables:

echo ${'blurb_'.$id}
