PHP how to call a define dynamically

Question

I want to do a concatenation to call my define but php don't want.

By example :

define('FOO_1', 'string 1');
define('FOO_2', 'string 2');

I want to call it dynamically :

$id = 1;
echo FOO_.$id;

But it displays :

FOO_1
(not "string 1");

How can I call my define dynamically ?
