You could declare these as an array:

$ncast = array('nm0001147','nm0518718','nm0001212','nm0004825');

In an array, your indexes start from 0 by default:

for ($i = 0; $i < 4; $i++) { // this gives 0, 1, 2, 3

> $sql = "SELECT * FROM cast WHERE nconst LIKE '$ncast_1'";

Then in this line, you could use:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM cast WHERE nconst LIKE '{$ncast[$i]}'";

Note that the {} are essential when you want to reference an array inside
a php string, which in this case is everything between the " characters!
