what code are you trying to use?
i have exactly the following code, and it prints out:
Hello there, this is a test.
My name is BOB
$text = "Hello there, <<test>>.
My name is <<name>>";
$ASSIGN = array(test => "this is a test",
'name'=> 'BOB', );
$OPENTAG = "<<";
$CLOSETAG = ">>";
print preg_replace( "/$OPENTAG(.*?)$CLOSETAG/e", '$ASSIGN[$1]', $text );
