You can get around this with a temporary assign:

{assign var="pagekey" value="page_key_`$DIGIT`_value"}
{$page_obj->$pagekey}


But why not make easier... instead of:

$type_varname = 'page_key_' . $digit. '_type';
$this->{$type_varname} = $rs->fields['page_key_' . $digit . '_type'];

Do something like:

$this->page_key_type[$digit] = $rs->fields['page_key_' . $digit . '_type'];


Then in the template instead of creating dynamic var names, just use the
key name:

<input name="page_key_{$digit}_value"
value="{$page_obj->page_key_type.$digit}" size="10" />
