Even this:
$output = preg_replace("/^[\$]{1,2}[a-zA-Z][0-9]+$/", "<b>\\1</b>", $var);
echo $output;
Doesn't work. It just takes whatever you put into $var, then puts it into $output,
and outputs it to the screen.
I want to change anything resembling a PHP variable, i.e. $var, $$var or &$var to
<b>$var</b>. Any ideas on how to do that?

Your regex looks suspiciously like a PCRE!
Try changing eregi_replace to preg_replace.
