Question

I am trying to replace multiple variables in a text.
I have For example this text:

This is an example text , my variables are:
%name%
%frontname%
%lastname%
%email%

No I want to replace each variable that is between the % % characters with {$variable}.

So my output looks like this:

This is an example text , my variables are:
{$name}
{$frontname}
{$lastname}
{$email}

The pattern I am trying to use is this :

$textResponder = preg_replace('#\%[^\%]+\%#', '{$$1}', $text);

But that is not working, as I get this as output: {$} {$} {$}. Does somebody know what the correct pattern would be?

Thanks in advance

$var = "Hello, %test% World %another test%!";
echo preg_replace('#%(.*?)%#', '{\$$1}', $var);
