Thank you, Martin, for your informative response. If I understand
correctly what you're saying, it would work to do (in psuedo code
and reduce to simplest form):
store_to_db(text = "My name is $name.")
The at runtime I could do:
get_from_db(text)
$name = 'Raquel'
echo "My name is $name"
OUTPUT: My name is Raquel
Is that correct?
What I'm trying to do is to create a web page where users can create
their own page text, store it into a database along with certain
available variables or functions, then display that page.
