Use eval. http://www.php.net/eval
% cat temp.txt
Temperature $temp degree.
% cat temp.php
<?php
$temp = '5';
$filename = "./temp.txt";
$handle = fopen ($filename, "r");
$code = fread ($handle, filesize ($filename));
fclose ($handle);
print $code."<br>";
eval("\$result = \"".addslashes($code)."\";");
echo $result;
?>
