| 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!

either use $a as an array having the keys be the differring values of $b as
someone suggested, or get into the magical, mystical world of shitty
development practices such as:

$${'a' . $b};

that makes for VERY easily maintained code since it shows exactly where a
variable comes from, what role it plays in your code, it's type, etc., etc.

knock yourself out! all i can say is that i hope you turn pro using code
like that. means i will get a raise. :)

(sorry to sound snippy with you. i'm just playing. i'm being extreme so that
the point is driven home to you that, although it can be done, it's not a
good idea...either way, the above is how you can do it.)
