Change variable name

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

This has nothing to do with sql, but anyway:

$a = "hello";
$b = "world";
$a.= $b;
echo $a;
?>

That would produce "helloworld"

He didn't say that he wanted to concatenate the contents, he said he
wanted a new variable name.

I have to wonder why he wants to do this. I would normally use an
associative array:

$a[$b] = $a;

but you could say:

$b = "a{$b}";
$$b = $a;
unset($a);
