Variable Variables Help Please

Hello. I have three variables. The first one is $times. That is the number of times my for loop has executed. The second variable is $value_1. This is the value of a text box, let's say Alpha. My third variable is $value_2. This is the value of my second text box, let's say Beta. I would like to call something like $value_$times and have it go to be Alpha on the first time of the loop and Beta on the second time of the loop. $value_$times doesn't work. Does anyone know what would work? Thank you in advance for all of your help. P.S. I have tried $value_{$times} on the recommendation of a friend, but, unfortunately, that doesn't work. P.S.S. If I don't make any/much/enough sense, please reply to this or email me at jeffdl@mn.mediaone.net. Thank you! :-)
