this also works, since you mentioned that you're trying to
get away from evalling an "echo" statement.
$bob = "Roy";
$s = 'Hey there $bob';
$s = '$somevar = "'. $s .'";';
eval ($s);
print $somevar;
prints: "Hey there Roy";
personally, i think that using regexps to implement
an entire symbol parsing engine to do what you ask
is something that you really do not need to do.
instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, use
the free ferarri that PHP provides you :)
