What way could I do this

[TheMayhem]

I was just wondering I have all of these arrays such as $user[name]; Now what my problem is I have a repeating loop that gets a few templates that I store in the database. Don't ask why I just want them their for what I'm trying to learn. My problem is whenever I loop and echo, some of those templates will call upon stuff like $user[name] and it should output a text of like Joe for example... instead it only ouputs the actual text of $user[name].

Hopefully I'm not confusing anyone, but is there a way that if you define something in a file and then run a query if the query has any information on the echo statement of whats stored inside such as an array or variable that on the output it would display what it has been defined too?
