Sure that can be done.  But you will need to change the second argument
to have double quotes so it will be parsed by PHP.

Then I would surround YOUR variable with curly brackets to separate it
from the rest.

echo preg_replace('#(screens/)temp/.+?_1(_main\.jpg)#',
                  "$1{$id}$3",
                  $file);
