Thanks for the reply Denis,
Let me elaborate a bit.
I have a php page which I want to pass a series of variables via a url string.
eg
myPage.php?dataPoint1=10&dataPoint2=20&dataPoint3=30
The thing is I won;t know until runtime how many dataPoints there will be
so I have also included 1 additional url variable
eg
myPage.php?totalDataPoints=3&dataPoint1=10&dataPoint2=20&dataPoint3=30
From there I want to take those data points and do several things with
each of them. The keep things simple lets say I want to multiply each by 3
and then divide it by 2 and put it into a new variable (under the same
naming system).
eg
$xtemp=$HTTP_GET_VARS[totalDataPoints];
do {
A line here which will take each dataPoint and multiply by 3 and
divide by 2 and assign it to a new variable with the same numbering system
(eg $myNewVar1=$HTTP_GET_VARS[dataPoint1]*3/2;
$xtemp--;
} while ($xtemp>0);
Make any more sense?
Thanks.

Maybe others will catch on to your intention, but I think you need to
provide a bit more information. For example, what variables do you want to
create (drawn from a file source, or create on the fly)? Where will they
come from (a database, perhaps)? You could create a script that creates
variables from scratch, following a (hopefully) finite mathematical
formula. Or you could manipulate data that already exists, turning this
data into some kind of variables.
Ultimately, you'll have to give a better of sense of the end result you'd
like.
