This would be the logical way to do it (as I see it):
define('MY','pre_');
$a = "dog";
$new_var = MY.$a;
$$new_var and $pre_dog are the same :)

have you tried /e modifier?
preg_replace("//e",'${$1}', $curline);
it's just a tip.

It seems to me that the use of a temp variable may be the clearest
solution, and I doubt any overhead would matter really.
$a = "dog";
$tmp = "MY".$a; //$tmp = "MYdog";
So the following two would be the same:
$$tmp = "Spot";
$MYdog = "Spot";
Good Luck,
