variables within variables

How do I change a variable within another?

I have an array:

$myarray array(
"one" => '"The first number is " . $number',
"two" => '"The second number is " . $number',
....);

$number = "1";
echo $myarray["one"];

How can I get this to output:
"The first number is 1" ?

I want to either just do it this way above or using the phplib templates (see below for what I'm trying to do)

I'm using the template.inc from phplib and I want to basically do the same thing as calling a template and set_var any variables, but I want to create the template on the fly and if I set the template with set_var instead of set_file, the {variables} are no longer accessible.

Thanks

Okay..

What I have is a scope problem. If $number (the variable to be inserted within the other) is predefined, say in a global file, it works. However, I am getting this variable from an array as well.

<code>
while (list($key, $val) = each($myarray)){
$text .= $myarray[$key];
echo $text;
</code>

The $myarray[$key] variable in this case looks like:
"this is the " . $key . " I want"

So I need to insert $key within the array variable referenced by $key itself. Make sense?

Thanks
