Answer 1

I got the answer.

<?

$str1 = '$variable$123$variable2$';    
echo replace($str1);

$str2 = '$variable$123';
echo replace($str2);

function replace($str)
{
    $str = preg_replace('/(\$\w*\$)(\d+)/i', '$1*$2', $str);
    $str = preg_replace('/(\d+)(\$\w*\$)/i', '$1*$2', $str);        
    return $str
}

?>

output :

$variable$*123*$variable2$

$variable$*123
