$tempassign = '$localvar = $whatever' . $counter . ';';
eval($tempassign);

if you do this at the start of the loop $localvar will have the value of each of the variables you want to walk through.
"eval" simply executes the code it gets. (http://www.php.net/eval)

you can do the same at the end of the loop to place some value back in the variable to actualy change it.

although it might be nicer to put those variables in an array when those variables ($whatever1, $whatever2) are created. (if that is possible ofcourse).
