Variables problem

Hi! I have a quite big form to fill out a calendar. The form has six fields for every day in a month to make it possible to set up tree apointments (the target of the meeting and Locataion), this makes a total of about ~180 fields so I created them with a for-loop. Now I got this 180 fields named tar1-1, loc1-1, tar2-1, loc2-1 a.s.o. where the first tree letters tells what information it is, the 4th witch meeting it is (1-3) and the digits after the minus-sign tells the day of the month (1-31) The problem is to get the value out of the variable so i can store it in my mySQL database. it no problem to create a variable that holds the name of the variable that contains the data, but then??? The value of the variable $q is 'tar1-1' and I want to access the variable $tar1-1..... I can't find any way to solve this, can you? Someone most have created a calendar like this before...
