Declaring multiple variables with a loop?

programming
1

I have the following variables:


$PlayerName1 = htmlspecialchars($_POST['PlayerName1']);
$PlayerName2 = htmlspecialchars($_POST['PlayerName2']);
$PlayerName3 = htmlspecialchars($_POST['PlayerName3']);
$PlayerName4 = htmlspecialchars($_POST['PlayerName4']);
$PlayerName5 = htmlspecialchars($_POST['PlayerName5']);

etc. all the way to PlayerName200 lol.

How would I go about declaring these same variables with a loop instead of having to repeat with copy/paste? Thanks.
