I keep running into this a lot but I am not sure how to handle it. Lets 
assume I have the following yaml:

project_paths:
  - path: /srv/www/web/app1
    name: app1
  - path: /srv/www/web/app2
    name: app2

Then I want to check if a file exists before running the following action:

- name: application | check for installer
  stat: path={{ item.path }}/install.php
  register: check_install
  with_items: project_paths

- name: application | run install
  command: php install.php chdir={{ item.path }}
  with_items: project_paths
  when: check_install.stat.exists == false

The issue is registering check_install since we are doing it in a loop. It 
looks to be resetting the variable for every item. I tried something like 
this and I get 'check_install' is undefined.

- name: application | check for installer
  stat: path={{ item.path }}/install.php
  register: check_install[item.name]
  with_items: project_paths

- name: application | run install
  command: php install.php chdir={{ item.path }}
  with_items: project_paths
  when: check_install[item.name].stat.exists == false

- name: done
  fail: msg="{{ item.name } installer does not exist"
  with_items: project_paths
  when: check_install[item.name].stat.exists == false

Basically I am wondering the best way to run stat or other register 
commands with_items so that I can later check that on other with_item tasks 
for the same variables.
