another way of doing it would be to ditch using variables
in the actual text string altogether, and just use place
holders.... use {varname} instead of $varname, and then
you dont need to eval anything... just use a simple
regexp
$fullname = "Roy Rogers";
$data = array(
'name' => 'Johnny',
'webname' => 'jn4523',
'this' => $this,
'fullname' => $fullname,
);
$text = "Dear {name}, your webhosting acccount {webname}
is ready for {fullname}...";
print preg_replace('/{(.*?)}/e', '$data[$1]', $text);
