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.

HTH,

Tyrone

Subject: [PHP] Replacing template variables with values?


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?  TIA!  :)
