RE: [PHP] Replacing template variables with values?

This always works for me... eval ("\$message = \"$message\";"); I use it in the same type of scenario you've described, and also with E-Mail bodies stored in a DB. Works like a charm.

Hello! :) I have a form with a textarea that contains a template e-mail with variables in it. I would like to be able to replace those variables with values. The variables named in the template are actual variables in my script. This doesn't seem to work: $newmail = preg_replace("/\$(\w+)/e", ${$1}, $template); ...and neither does anything I've tried to do as far as eval() goes. I either get a parse error like this: Parse error: parse error, expecting T_VARIABLE' or '$'' in c:\path\file.php on line 16 ...or some other sort of eval() error. Any ideas?
