Add variable to variable name

[Boris Savc]

Sorry for confuzing subject, but that's the thing I'm trying to achieve. For
example:

$a = "Hello";
$b = 1;

I want to change the name of $a to $a1 where 1 is value of variable $b!

Thanks for all the help,
Boris

Insanity wrapped in perverted maddness, but...
${"a$b"} = $a;

Have a nice maintenance hell.

${'a'.$b} = $a;
echo $a1;

That said, any time you're doing something like "${'a'.$b}" , alarm bells
should be going off. You'd probably be better off using an array.
