Does php have a facility similar to python's stringIO?

What I'm wanting to do is similar to a mail merge. IOW, I know I can
create an include file like:

$out = <<<EOT
This is an example of $var1 and $var2.
EOT;

and then after assigning values to $var1 and $var2 include that
file. I can later use different values for $var1 and $var2 and get a
different $out with a second include.
eval()

Explain.

One word responses really don't do any good.

Exactly *what* would be the argument to eval()?

RTFM, that's what it's there for.

Incidentally, eval is evil and potentially a giant security hole. You'd be better off doing replacements with preg_match rather than executing a string.
