I want to tell my function which variable to call based on the day of the week. The day of the week is stored in $s_day, and the variables I want to call changes based on which day it is.
e.g.
I've stored a string 'Welcome to the week' in $d_monday_text1. Rather than build a set of 7 conditional statements (e.g. if date=monday echo $foo, else if date=tuesday echo $bar...), can I change the name of the variable called in the function by concatenating the name of the variable?
$s_day = date("l");
$text1 = '$d_'.$s_day.'_text1';
I'm hoping this evaluates to $d_monday_text1, which, as mentioned above, has the value "Welcome to the week". So, later on I'd want to use:
echo $text1;
To yield the resulting output = Welcome to the week.
I've looked into variable variables, which may be the way to go here, but am struggling with syntax. I can get it to echo the concatenated name, but I can't figure out how to get that name evaluated.
