[RESOLVED] String name as part of string

[Fooglmog]

I've been trying to figure out how to include a variable name in a string without getting an error, but I can't find an answer and need some help.

The code I have is basically this:

$str = "The variable $var is pretty awesome";

I was the literal text "$var" to stay... but the text is user submitted, so I can't just make sure there's a \ in front of every variable.

Thanks in advance.

You only need to escape the $ symbol in a string literal. Since the text is user submitted, you don't have to worry about that.

Ah... okay.

I guess it was an issue in the way I was testing my script... in the real application, it does just fine.

Thanks.
