Handling Variables in PHP Arrays

Our PHP parser is only responsible for detecting and extracting strings from a PHP Array. If variables are included, then they must be handled in the manner explained by the following example:

FOOTER_COPY1" => "© .date("Y") MY CORPORATION LTD. All Rights Reserved.

The function date needs to be replaced in the PHP file with variables as seen below:

<?php
$thisyear = date("Y");
return array(
"FOOTER_COPY1" => "© {$thisyear} MY CORPORATION LTD. All rights reserved."
