PHP Variables stored in MySQL.

[wreed]

So I store a variable in the middle of a string into MySQL. I want to then print that string with the variable printing out as a variable and not as a string.

For instance, I have a email that gets sent out after a form is filled out. THere is dynamic information in the body of the email thus why I have variables in the string. The client wants to be able to update the wording of the email so I set up a form so they can edit it in the admin. What I want to know is how I relate to those variables?

Thoughts, help....

That may not be possible because of the fact that php is parsed once and you need to run through twice... something abstract like that...

You might try putting curlies around the variable name when you store it though: ${varName}. If that doesn't work you'll probably have to take a completely different approach to your problem.

Any thoughts maybe not allowing them to edit the date and times, maybe just putting an include statement there instead? I need to know how people do CMS and leave dynamic areas there?
