A trick I've used many-a-time is based for example on the data posted
from a form.
foreach ($_POST as $var=>$val)
$data['%'.$var.'%'] = $val;
echo
str_replace(array_keys($data),array_values($data),file_get_contents('mytemplate.txt'));
And mytemplate.txt has in it things like:
Dear %name%, thank you for your interest in %product% ....
str_replace takes arrays as input, as well as plain strings.
Cheers,
