Creating a variable variable name

I've read about variable variables and string concatenation and could use some advice on the best approach for an html form I'm working on.

When I generate the form I sometimes loop sections that repeat.

One such loop is like this:

Phone1 Description1
Phone2 Description2
Phone3 Description3

The table record actually has fields Phone1, Description1, Phone2, ...etc. and I equate them to $phone1, $description1, $phone2, etc.

What I tried to do was to use $i to control to loop and then echo:

value='$phone$i' or value '$description$i' in an <input> statement but that doesn't work.

Thanks

Tom
