Variable variables and php

I'm building a concepts-database for my students. I have made a decision to store the school subjects in one column in the database where a 1 represents that the concept belongs to that subject. A concept can belong to several subjects, hence the strange storing system. I gather the altered subjects from the code shown in the code below. It bothers me that i can't make a loop where the variables change for each row. I have tried. I can get the subjects in an array from my database, but I can't manage to make the variable variables work.



TL;DR: How can I code the subjects in to a loop from my stored subjects, stored in the variable $subjects_short. I tried with



if ($'_POST[' . $subjects_short . ']'== 1)$term_subject .= '1'; else $term_subject .= '0';;


in the loop and I can't get it to work.



if ($_POST['sv']== 1)$term_subject .= '1'; else $term_subject .= '0';;
if ($_POST['en']== 1)$term_subject .= '1'; else $term_subject .= '0';;
if ($_POST['ma']== 1)$term_subject .= '1'; else $term_subject .= '0';;
if ($_POST['ms']== 1)$term_subject .= '1'; else $term_subject .= '0';;
if ($_POST['bi']== 1)$term_subject .= '1'; else $term_subject .= '0';;
if ($_POST['fy']== 1)$term_subject .= '1'; else $term_subject .= '0';;
if ($_POST['ke']== 1)$term_subject .= '1'; else $term_subject .= '0';;
if ($_POST['tk']== 1)$term_subject .= '1'; else $term_subject .= '0';;
if ($_POST['ge']== 1)$term_subject .= '1'; else $term_subject .= '0';;
if ($_POST['hi']== 1)$term_subject .= '1'; else $term_subject .= '0';;
if ($_POST['re']== 1)$term_subject .= '1'; else $term_subject .= '0';;
if ($_POST['sh']== 1)$term_subject .= '1'; else $term_subject .= '0';;
if ($_POST['hkk']== 1)$term_subject .= '1'; else $term_subject .= '0';;
if ($_POST['idh']== 1)$term_subject .= '1'; else $term_subject .= '0';;
if ($_POST['mu']== 1)$term_subject .= '1'; else $term_subject .= '0';;
if ($_POST['sl']== 1)$term_subject .= '1'; else $term_subject .= '0';;

    Its not a variable variable. Just an variable index. Go with $_POST[$subject_short]

  • I'm not sure how to say this more constructively... if you're going to claim to be a teacher, you really owe it to your students to understand the subject matter a lot better than this. If I saw data design and implementation like that in a code review, the next thing I'd be reviewing would be resumes for potential replacement hires.
