using MySQL field variable as text box names in HTML forms

I have some php in the middle of HTML that looks like this in order to build a table in the web page from the contents of a MySQL table. A field in the MySQL table is the name of the text box in the HTML page. I know, sounds strange...

<?php // products will be created in HTML table here from DB table
$orderByCol = "partNumber";
$sqlCommand = "SELECT * FROM $productsTable WHERE activeProduct='1' ORDER BY $orderByCol";
$qryOK = mysql_query($sqlCommand); // php supplied function
$numRecords = mysql_num_rows($qryOK); // # of records found.
if($numRecords) {
while($record = mysql_fetch_object($qryOK)) { // php supplied function
$partNumber = $record->partNumber;
$description = $record->description;
$price = $record->price;
$checkBoxName = $record->checkBoxName;
$qtyFieldName = $record->qtyFieldName;//

$tableRow = "<tr>";
$tableRow .= "<td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td>";
$tableRow .= "<td width="26">";
$tableRow .= "<div align="center">";
$tableRow .= "<input type="checkbox" name="".$checkBoxName."" value="1">";
$tableRow .= "</div>";
$tableRow .= "</td>";
$tableRow .= "<td width="262">".$description."</td>";
$tableRow .= "<td width="99">".$price." USD</td>";
$tableRow .= "<td width="72">qty";
$tableRow .= "<input type="text" name="".$qtyFieldName."" size="5">"; // value="0" (at end)
$tableRow .= "</td>";
$tableRow .= "</tr>";
print $tableRow;
}
}

The MySQL table has fields like these (that are releative to my question:
qtyFieldName -- the name of the text box where the user will enter a quantity
checkBoxName -- the name of the check box on the HTML page

I then want to use all the specific 'qtyFieldName' actual qty's

The next page has this in it to get the selections:
$orderByCol = "partNumber";
$sqlCommand = "SELECT * FROM $productsTable WHERE activeProduct='1' ORDER BY $orderByCol";
// $qryOK = mysql_db_query ($mysqlDB, $sqlCommand); // php supplied function (depricated)
$qryOK = mysql_query($sqlCommand); // php supplied function
$numRecords = mysql_num_rows($qryOK); // # of records found.
if($numRecords) {
while($record = mysql_fetch_object($qryOK)) { // php supplied function
$partNumber = $record->partNumber;
$description = $record->description;
$price = $record->price;
$checkBoxName = $record->checkBoxName;
$qtyFieldName = $record->qtyFieldName;

print $qtyFieldName; // obviously just gives the field name
what I really want here is the value of this variable fromthe previous page
I have also tried:
eval ("$qty = "$qtyFieldName";");
echo $qty;

but it just gives the field name also

Any ideas???
