If you want to use a variable value in part of the name of a variable variable (not the whole name itself), you can do like the following:
<?php
$price_for_monday = 10;
$price_for_tuesday = 20;
$price_for_wednesday = 30;
$today = 'tuesday';
$price_for_today = ${ 'price_for_' . $today};
echo $price_for_today; // will return 20
?>
