If looking what you written here, you want a variable, not an arrya, that has
a numerical value which increases for each loop

/* the text part of the string name */
$variablename="stupidstring";
/* use the type of loop you need */
for($i=0; $i<10; $i ++) {
$newvarablename= $variablename . $i;
$$newvarablename="stupid string";
}

This will create you 10 variables with the names
stupidstring0, stupidstring1 to stupidstring9, all containing the value
"stupid string".

If this isn't what you wanted to do, then explain again what you want, give us
a more proper how you want things to look when finished.
