if you want to append two variables, do this:
$a = "my dog goes";
$b = "woof";
$c = $a.$b;
echo $c;

this would echo "my dog goeswoof".

You can alternate between variable values and text, e.g.

echo $a.' '.$b

this would insert a single space to show:

"my dog goes woof"

[salmon]

$a = 'name';
$b = '26';

${$a . $b} = 'this is what you want';

// prints 'this is what you want';
echo $name26;

Is that what you need?
