Using an array to set variable name
<p>I'm trying to use some mysql data in creating part of a variable name to refer to another variable already declared elsewhere. Basically how can I get the $damage_name be part of the if statement boolean check?</p>

<pre><code>$conditions = array(
        'bent_num' =&gt; 0,
        'spine_torn' =&gt; 0,
        'pages_torn' =&gt; 0,
        'water_damage' =&gt; 0,
        'pages_highlighted' =&gt; 0,
        'pages_noted' =&gt; 0,
        'taped' =&gt; 0,
        'stained' =&gt; 0,
        'mold' =&gt; 0,
        'scratched' =&gt; 0
        );
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res))
    {           
        $damage_name = $conditions[$row['type']]; 

        if (isset($conditions[$row['type']]) &amp;&amp; $_SESSION[SELL_is_ . $damage_name . ];  == 'y')
        {
            $condition_score = $condition_score - $row['value'];
        }
    }
</code></pre>
