replace $ from php variable

[hibuddy]

Hi
In my PHP script I have a "$" stored in one of my variable like $var1 is AAA$BBBCC.

while I am trying to print I am not getting the part after $ symbol ( I am only getting AAA). I am trying to replace my variable's value to AAA\$BBBCC by($var1=preg_replace('$', '\$', $var1)😉

It is not working for me.I would appreciate If you could help on that.

Thanks...

$str = 'This is a $string with my $name in it.';
echo $str. "\n";

eval("\$str = \"$str\";");
echo $str. "\n";

output <<

This is a $string with my $name in it.
This is a cup with my coffee in it.
