eval problem.. advice needed!

Hi I need some major help with eval

I have a statement using eval:
Code:
read input
eval variable$input=”something”

Now I want to use the “variable$input” in some commands but I don't know how to call it without replacing the $input with the command line value (which I obviously can't do).

e.g. when I try
Code:
echo `eval $variable$input`

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

I get an error saying command not found.

Can someone please help!!!
