Hi Julio, I have 4 suggestions: i. Perform the sizeof() operation once and outside the loop. This will save you some cpu cycles. Also, if you know for sure that sizeof($artist) is unlikely to change, set it as a constant. ii. Create the $c.x string prior to assigning a value to the variable it represents. eg. $artist_size=sizeof($artist); for($count = 0; $count<$artist_size; $count++) $varname = "c".($count+1); // ${$varname} = $artist[$count]; } echo $c1.$c2.$c10; iii. Go here for more notes on how to create variable variables: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php iv. Have lots of fun. cheers!
