try eval

<?php
$string = 'cup';
$name = 'coffee';
$one = 'This is a $string with my $name in it.<br>';
echo $one;
eval ("\\$two = \\"$one\\";");
echo $two;
?>

will print

This is a $string with my $name in it.
This is a cup with my coffee in it.

This is one of those really easy questions that's difficult to search
for because the search terms look like everything else.

Is there an easy way to do simple variable interpolation on a string?

For example, if I have:

$one = '1';
$two = '= $one';

Is there a way to get $two to equal '= 1' (or whatever $one happens to
contain, obviously)?
