Yes!
Easy standard stuff.
$title = 'Mr.";
$user_name = 'John Doe';
$message = "Hello $title $user_name ...."
Just define the value for the variables before defining the value for
the message.
Note that $message has to use double quotes for the expansion. Also
consider using HEREDOC instead of the double quotes.
You may want to put your message in a text file and using the include
function.

Hello,
I have created a simple function that prints a personalized greeting by reading
the greeting contents from a file. I pass the user's name to the function,
and the function reads the file contents into a string variable. I am then
using str_replace to replace the word USER in the string with the user's
name that was passed to the function. Then the function correctly prints
the personalized greeting as I wish.
My question is, is there another way to do something similar, such as
embedding a variable name directly into the text file? In other words,
instead of my text file reading:
Hello USER ...
Can I do something like this:
Hello $user_name ...
and then write my function to replace $user_name with the passed
parameter prior to printing?
The reason I ask is because I am going to want to do three substitutions,
and I'd rather not do three str_replace calls if I don't have to. Plus the
latter seems to be a more robust way of making the changes.
Thanks, and apologies if this has been asked before and I missed it. I'm
just not sure how to phrase this for a search engine.
