A brief note: Something tells me you should take a programming class in
a real language. PHP lets you do things no sane programmer would, so if
you get used to, say, Java first, you won't want to "rename variables"
or use strings as variable names, but follow good practices and use, for
example, arrays.

But since you're asking, and since it's possible:


Code:

$a = "Hello";
$b = 1;
$newname="$a$b";
$$newname=$a;
print $a1;
--------------------------

Will output:

Hello
