Interpret variable server side

Anon

I Know this sound a bit strange, but nevertheless, I'm triyng to create some dynamically XML data.

An example could be this.

$name = "Lennart";
$Newvar = My name is " . $name;
echo $Newvar;
As we know this should on the client read

My Name is Lennart.

What I would like to do is to create some XML data in memory on the server and then with an XSL file use the php_xslt extension to tranform my XML data into html.

Some thing like this.

$name = "Lennart";
$Newvar = My name is " . ServerSideInterpret($name);
This $newvar should now read the same as it would being printed in the browser.
Then I would like to create some XML with it.

<XMLData>My Name is Lennart.</XMLData>
All server side...... Is this possible or am I thinking at it wrong.

Well, it turns out I just needed a peek in the manual.

using ob_start, ob_get_contents and ob_end_clean, I'm able to do exactly that.

Just if any one else have the same problem.
