Actually, I'd like to suggest that a variable variable is the wrong tool for
this, and an array should be used instead -- something like:

   $level = array(1 => array("PN", "GALUP", "VP", "PUBUP",
                             "STATS", "MCI", "CONLIST","CP",
                             "OAFS", "LO"),
                  2 => array("PN", "GALUP", "VP", "PUBUP",
                             "MCI", "CONLIST", "CP", "OAFS",
                             "LO")
                 );

   if (isset($_SESSION['user']['level'])
       && isset($level[$_SESSION['user']['level']])):
      foreach ($level[$_SESSION['user']['level']] as $value):
         echo $value.'<br>';
      endforeach;
   else:
      // invalid level
   endif;

Cheers!

Mike
