I am trying to use a for loop to retrieve two keys and two specific values from each key. These values are then saved to a variable for later use. Here is an example of what I have so far: 
for ($i=0; $i<2; $i++) {

        $graphic.$i = $pers_dcr_files{$key[$i]}{GraphicName};
        $url.$i = $pers_dcr_files($key[$i]}{url};
        
    }

I know that my syntax is wrong, what I am trying to do is retrieve two keys (file names) and assign two values from each to a variable that changes name every time the loop runs. What is the correct syntax for this type of operation? Or any suggestions on a better way to do this? Thanks, Bill
