How to dynamically set the name of a variable in PHP

在上一篇文章中我们简单了解了什么是变量,变量的声明,介绍了变量赋值的两种方式,有需要的可以点击链接查看→《你知道php变量有哪些设置值的方式吗》。这次我们继续来聊聊变量,介绍一下如果动态的设置(改变)一个变量的名称。

我们一般操作变量,都是改变变量的值(这是所有的语言都支持的),有时会改变一下变量的类型;但很少(几乎没有)进行改变变量名称的操作的(支持这一操作的语言也很少)。但在PHP中可以,它提供了一个特殊的其他类型的变量——可变变量,可以允许我们动态的设置(修改)一个变量的名称。

我们来看看下面这个示例:

1

<?php

$str=&#39;trans&#39;;                                                  //声明变量$str

$trans=&#39;hello!&#39;;                                            //声明变量$trans

echo $str;                                                     //输出变量$str

echo "<br/>";

echo $$str;                                                 //通过可变变量输出$trans的值

?>

Copy after login

可以看出,我们定义两个变量$str$trans,首先输出变量$str的值,然后使用可变变量来改变变量$str的名称,输出改变名称后的变量值。看看输出结果:

1

2

trans

hello!

Copy after login

那么具体什么是可变变量呢?

所谓“可变变量”,就是一个变量以另外一个变量的值作为变量名。利用这一特性我们可以动态的设置和使用一个变量的变量名。例如,我们可以设置$tireqty的值:

1

$varname = &#39;tireqty&#39;;

Copy after login

于是,我们就可以用varname取代$tireqty。例如,我们可以设置$tireqty的值:

1

varname = 5;

Copy after login

这个代码等价于:

1

$tireqty = 5;

Copy after login

而声明可变变量的方法非常简单,只需要在变量名前加上至少两个“$”符号即可。

<?php

$demo = &#39;string&#39;;

$$demo = &#39;hello!&#39;;

echo $string;

?>

Copy after login

输出结果:

1

hello!

Copy after login

利用可变变量可以动态设置变量名称的特性,我们可以将可变变量应用在表单处理中

在使用表单获取数据时,往往不会只有一个数据

<form action="test.php" method="post">

<table border="0">

<tr bgcolor="#cccccc">

<td width="150">Item</td>

<td width="15">Quantity</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>Tires</td>

<td align="center"><input type="text" name="tireqty" size="3" maxlength="3" /></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>Oil</td>

<td align="center"><input type="text" name="oilqty" size="3" maxlength="3" /></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>Spark Plugs</td>

<td align="center"><input type="text" name="sparkqty" size="3" maxlength="3" /></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td colspan="2" align="center"><input type="submit" value="Submit Order" /></td>

</tr>

</table>

</form>

Copy after login

因此处理表单数据时,也不会只有一个表单变量。而传统的中规中矩的写法是下面这样的,表单变量越多,赋值语句将会很长。

<?php

$oilqty = $_POST[&#39;oilqty&#39;];

$tireqty = $_POST[&#39;tireqty&#39;];

$sparkqty = $_POST[&#39;sparkqty&#39;];

echo "<p>Your order is as follows:</p>";

echo "<br />\$oilqty=".$oilqty;

echo "<br />\$tireqty=".$tireqty;

echo "<br />\$sparkqty=".$sparkqty;

?>

Copy after login

我们利用可变变量来优化,使用一个循环语句和一个变量来自动处理它们

<?php

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {

$$key = $value;

}

echo "<p>Your order is as follows:</p>";

echo "<br />\$oilqty=".$oilqty;

echo "<br />\$tireqty=".$tireqty;

echo "<br />\$sparkqty=".$sparkqty;

?>

Copy after login

代码是不是简洁了不少!

可变变量也可以用于数组。

<?php

$demo = &#39;hello&#39;;

$test = &#39;world&#39;;

$arr = array(&#39;demo&#39;, &#39;test&#39;);

echo ${$arr[0]}.&#39;<br>&#39;.${$arr[1]}.&#39;<br>&#39;;

?>

Copy after login

输出结果:

1

2

hello

world

Copy after login

分析:${$arr[0]}${$arr[1]}为什么中间要用“{ }”将数组变量包裹住呢?

因为,如果你写下 $$a[1] 时,解析器需要知道你是想要 $a[1] 作为一个变量呢,还是想要把$$a当成变量、[1]指的是这个变量的索引。

解决这个问题的语法是使用“{ }”将变量包裹,对应的语法是:第一种情况使用${$a[1]},第二种情况使用${$a}[1]

Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Apr 05, 2025 am 12:04 AM

JWT is an open standard based on JSON, used to securely transmit information between parties, mainly for identity authentication and information exchange. 1. JWT consists of three parts: Header, Payload and Signature. 2. The working principle of JWT includes three steps: generating JWT, verifying JWT and parsing Payload. 3. When using JWT for authentication in PHP, JWT can be generated and verified, and user role and permission information can be included in advanced usage. 4. Common errors include signature verification failure, token expiration, and payload oversized. Debugging skills include using debugging tools and logging. 5. Performance optimization and best practices include using appropriate signature algorithms, setting validity periods reasonably,
