here's the code I've got, where position1 through position14 are mysql table rows. Why isn't this working?

$i=1;

while ( $i < 14 ){

    if ($row[position$i] >= 0){

        ${position$i}=$row[position$i];

        ${story$i}="news";

    }elseif($row2[position$i] >= 0){

        ${position$i}=$row2[position$i];

        ${story$i}="pages";

    }

    echo ${story$i};

    $i++;

}

I figured it out!, with a variation :D

method 1:

$i=1;
while ( $i < 14 ){
    if ($row["position$i"] > 0){
        ${"position$i"}=$row["position$i"];
        ${"story$i"}="news";
    }elseif($row2["position$i"] > 0){
        ${"position$i"}=$row2["position$i"];
        ${"story$i"}="pages";
    }
    echo ${"position$i"};
    echo "<br />";
    $i++;
}  

method 2:

$i=1;
while ( $i < 14 ){
    if ($row["position$i"] > 0){
        $position[$i]=$row["position$i"];
        $story[$i]="news";
    }elseif($row2["position$i"] > 0){
        $position[$i]=$row2["position$i"];
        $story[$i]="pages";
    }
    echo $position[$i];
    echo "<br />";
    $i++;
}
