variable substitution - Problem

Recommended Posts

Hi programmers,
I have one problem, and don't have idea how to solve it.
Here is very much simplyfied code with which I have problem:
[code]
<?php
$variable = "<?php
\$v1 = \"10\";
\$v2 = \"50\";
\$output = \$v1+\$v2;
@include \"./functions.php\";//This function provde some output too
echo \$output;
?>";
$template = "<html>
<head><title>Test</title></head>
<body>
<%variable%>
</body>
</html>";

$template = str_replace("<%variable%>",$variable,$template);

echo $template;
?>
[/code]

The problem is when I run this script in browser I get next html code:
[code]
<html>
<head><title>Test</title></head>
<body>
<?php
$v1 = "10";
$v2 = "50";
$output = $v1+$v2;
@include "./functions.php";
echo $output;
?>
</body>
</html>
[/code]
Of course this is totaly expected($variable is string), but I want that all php variables to be substituted with their values when I do echo $template, so I do not want any php code in browser.
I solved this problem by writing $template to file, and then called this file via class that imitate browser(snoopy), and it works as I wanted, but the problem is because I have to write to file, and that may be very slow(this is part of template engine).
SO my question is:
Is it possible to do substitutions somehow in memory, without writing template variable(or $variable) to file and accessing it via browser?

I know this is very specific problem, hope someone will have some ideas.

Thanks,
Ivica
