Creating an Array with dynamically updated variables

Question

I have some PHP variables whose names are directly linked to the function they contain.

Is there anyway of automating the creation of these variables, so that I can ALL variables 00-200 available for use?

This is what I'm doing now...

$regdays00 = is_user_reg_matured( 00 );
$regdays02 = is_user_reg_matured( 02 );
$regdays05 = is_user_reg_matured( 05 );
$regdays08 = is_user_reg_matured( 08 );

I'd love to be able to go:

small function that creates all $redays000 - $regdays200

if ( $regdays162) { "This has now used is_user_reg_matured(162)" }

Thank you!

Just No! Don't do that. Use arrays or something else, but don't create freaking 200 variables just with an incrementing number. — Rizier123

why in the world would you create that many variables, just use an array — Kevin

@Scott Google PHP array and PHP for and read the manual page. These are some basic stuff so make sure you really understand them :) Your code will be way better that way. — Rizier123

This is begging for a basic loop and an array.

Something like this perhaps:

$regdays = [];
for($i = 0; $i < 200; $i++) {
    $regdays[$i] = is_user_reg_matured($i);
}

There you go. An array of 0 - 199.

if ($regdays[162]) { 
    echo "This has now used is_user_reg_matured(162)";
}

I highly recommend you do some reading up on arrays and loops. These are some basic PHP tools you very much need in your toolbelt!
