New function request - Variable parsing a string

I don't want to parse variables FROM a string but I want to parse them
INTO a string as described on the page:

http://ie.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.parsing

Below a PHP example that shows the function I want.

<?php

$abc = '123';
$klm['klm'] = '456';
$xyz->xyz = '789';

$string = '* {$abc} * {$klm['klm']} * {$xyz->xyz} *';

$result = parseVarsIntoString ($string);

echo $result;

function parseVarsIntoString ($string) {

extract($GLOBALS);

eval('$result = "' . str_replace('"', '\\"', $string) . '";');

return $result;

}

?>

Hi,

To speed up a homebuild PHP framework I would like to have a new
function that expands a string with the PHP variables in it, just like
how variable parsing is done for a double-quotes string.

string VariableParsingString ( string string )

Currently I do it with the next eval statement.

eval('$result = "' . str_replace('"', '\"', $string) . '";');
