preg_replace question

[willl69]

Here is the code i have to read stings that are set out as such - {STRING}

$pattern = '/{(\w+)}/';
$replace = '$\1';
$template = preg_replace($p attern, $replace, $template);

This outputs $STRING

Anybody know how i can get the $STRING to $string within the preg_replace.
I have tried:
$replace = '$'.strtolower( '\1');
but it doenst work.

Any help much appreciated.
