Oh.  I didn't understand your question.  Guess I was too busy working on 
other things to really pay attention to the whole thread.  Max was on 
target with eval().  So, continuing with my example...

  $one = 1;
  $two = 'this string = $one and that is it';
  $three = eval($two);
  echo $three;
  [results:  this string = 1 and that is it]

Now, BE CAREFUL about using eval().  You could do some really nasty things 
if the incoming string is corrupted by nasty persons.  Please read the PHP 
manual about eval() to make sure you're being safe.
