How to create variable with for loop in php [duplicate]

Question

I have the following php code where by a for loop create different variables. Basically what I need is, after run the code below, it should create different variables such as $o1, $o2, $o3 etc. But it is not working based on the way I implemented. Does anyone can help me how to solve this?

for($i = 0; $i <= $totalOa; $i++){
      '$o'.$i = $pieces[$i];  
}

You want to make an array or which type of output you want, please add your output which you want. — HP371

Why do you want to create variables? This is an antipattern. Use associative arrays; this is what they're for. Don't create variables dynamically. — Dharman

@Anu As I understand you can make an array and use it like $o[$i] and use according to so I think it works same as string vars. — HP371

Try this...

for($i = 0; $i <= $totalOa; $i++){
     ${"o" . $i} = $pieces[$i]; 
}

Try this:

You need to use variable variables.

for($i = 0; $i <= $totalOa; $i++){
    $o{$i} = $pieces[$i];  
}
