He wants to store an UNinterpolated string somewhere (like a DB or text
file), then interpolate it at run-time.
$sitename = 'php.net';
$username = 'pollita';
$string = $db->getOne('SELECT somestring FROM thetable WHERE id=\'foo\'');
/* $string now contains something like: 'Welcome to {$sitename}. You are
logged in as {$username}'
* He wants $string to get interpolated into: 'Welcome to php.net. You are
logged in as pollita'
*/
I've thought this would be a nice thing to have as well, but it's not
something that can be trivially ripped out of the compiler and I havn't
personally had the motivation to actually get it done.
