Hello,

this works fine:

$name="fido";
$string="my dog's name is $name";
echo $string;//prints my dog's name is fido

but when I store the string "my dog's name is $name" in the db and pull it out:

//do the query
$row=$datab->fetch();
$name="fido";
$string=$name['db_column'];
echo $string//prints my dog's name is $name

How can I get it to work with the db?

eval is an answer, but str_replace is much more secure:

$string = str_replace('$name', $name, $string);
