You would do this:

echo ${'abc' . $n};

This will perform the concatentation first, then interpolate it as a
variable name.

Although personally I'd recommend using an array rather than lots of
variables, like so:

$abc = array('abc', 'apples', 'pumpkins');
echo $abc[$n];

As this is *much* clearer (in mu opinion).
