Try this:

${$variableName.'_declined'} = 'foo';

Use the concatenation:

<?php

$newvar = $agent . "_declined";

?>

Like this: $newvar = $agent . "_declined";

In PHP, you combine strings by using .

Like this?

$agent_declined = "foobar";
$id = "declined";
$varname = "\$agent_" . $id
$newvar = $$varname; // should give foobar

I would advise against the use of double $$, it's confusing.
