I'm trying to echo a phpstring-message. This php string consists of html and php variables and comes form a database and i can't change that data.
$name = 'John';
$str = '<b>Hi {$name},</b><br/>How are you?';
echo $str;
So i'm trying to replace the php string, but it doesn't work. This is my code:
$str = str_replace('{', '\' . ', $str);
$str = str_replace('}', ' . \' ', $str);
I get: <b>Hi' . $name. ',</b><br/>How are you?
How do i get the string like this?
<b>Hi John,</b><br/>How are you?
Thank you in advance
