Assuming you want to replace [foo] with the value in $foo, you can use
something like this:
$str = "this [foo] is a [test] okay?";
$foo = "crap_foo";
$test = "crap_test";
$nstr = preg_replace("/\[([a-z]+)\]/ie",'\$$1',$str);
echo $str . "<br>---<br>" . $nstr;
No error checking, so if $foo doesn't exist, you'll get a warning and
empty string inserted.
