Template WYSIWYG php && tags

[Aggelos]

Dear developers,
I am trying to find an answer to that rpoblem of mine for a very long
time now... and still I had no luck.

I have my tinyMCE WYSIWYG and I want to let people create an e-mail
template.
So i want the to type in the WYSIWYG :
Dear <?= $subscriber->name ?>,
You have a message from <?= $anotherSubscri ber->name ?>
Total messages: <?= $message->countMessages( $subscriber->name); ?>
Regards,
Hero

Another version of the above is:
Dear <?= $NAME ?>,
You have a message from <?= $MESSAGE_FROM_N AME ?>
Total messages: <?= $TOTAL_MESSAGES ?>
Regards,
Hero

Ignore the CAPITAL letters.

And the question is... what options do I have of creating that
template in my WYSIWYG store it in a DB and then be able to parse it.
I believe that the most common answer would be using regular
expression and replacing this variables with somthing else. But do you
know any application that works like that... is that a common way to
work ?

Thank you.

Many do. Just search for 'templates php' and you'll see many
examples. It is the most common way to do it. In fact, I can't see
any other good way to do it.
