Use variable in wordpress function name

Question

I am trying to create a function within a loop and the name of the function needs to change for each time it is executed.

Here is the function that works:

add_filter("gform_field_value_eventname", 'populate_event');
        function populate_event($value){
        return $eventtitle;

but I need it to do something like this, where a variable could be added to the name of the function:

add_filter("gform_field_value_eventname", 'populate_event'.$y);
        function populate_event.$y($value){
        return $eventtitle;

Please could somebody point me in the right direction

Thanks

Try this instead (PHP 5 >= 5.3.0):

add_filter("gform_field_value_eventname", function($value){
    // code...
});

Make decisions internally, maybe depending on the $value.

Note: if it doesn't solve your problem please post more relevant code.
