You would have to have the name of the array variable stored in another 
variable. Then you have to access the array with a variable variable.

${$array_name}[$array_name . $index] = $value;

Unfortunately, there is no way to get the name of a variable dynamically 
like that. You would have to have it hard coded somewhere.
