FW: [PHP] Variable Next To Variable?

What I'm doing is having a form page ask, "How many children do you want to sign up?" Then it spits out form fields for as many children as they asked for. So each field has name="C_Last_Name$x" and $x in incremented for each child. Should I make it name="C_Last_Name[$x]" ?
