preg_replace_callback create_function is deprecated [duplicate]

Question

i have the following function for replace variables in a string

function replace_variables($string,$variables)
{


        return preg_replace_callback('/{\$([A-Za-z_]+)\}/', 
           create_function ('$matches', 'return $$variables[1];'), $string);
}

In php 7.2 create_function is deprecated and i dont know how to rewrite the function to work with php 5.2

Thanks

function($matches) use ($variables){ return $$variables[1]; } Use a closure. Not sure about the $$ though (variable variable). Seems pointless in this context. — ArtisticPhoenix

    return preg_replace_callback('/{\$([A-Za-z_]+)\}/',
        function ($matches) use ($variables) {
            return $$variables[1];
        }, $string);
}
