making a variable get used with a variable

[DKY]

I have this problem, that's REALLY difficult to explain. but it all sums down to this.

I've got

PHP Code:

$text1="blah";
$text2='$text1'; 


and I've got

PHP Code:

<?php echo $text2; ?>

and all that shows up on the page is $text1, when I want the text that $text1 is assigned to to show up. How do I do this?

is there a function I'm missing?

Remove the quotes, and it should work - so replace $text2='$text1'; with $text2=$text1;
