I am trying to have one command (phi) draw two different symbols (varphi and regular phi) in the same document.
I have tried this with the below:
documentclassarticle
usepackageamsmath, amssymb
newcommandoldphiphi
renewcommandphivarphi
begindocument
$phi$
renewcommandphioldphi
$phi$
enddocument
But this wont compile (with pdftex or TexMaker), it seem like it gets stuck in a loop and wont create a pdf, but I can't see why?
Or is there a better way to achieve this?

Yes: using phi` when you want it, and `varphi`` when it is the one you need.

My understanding is that newcommandxy simply replaces "a" with "b" so can become circular, whereas letab actually sets a to the value of b, so resolves any self-referencing issues.
