For case1 (in the latter examples, I don't see why you give two sets  
of examples): If you indicate that the variable $findData 
['recipient_project::mailhtml'][0] contains the string 'My name is  
{$name}.', then what it produces seems correct. You assign  
(effectively) 'My name is {$name}.' to $newhtmlstring, and then you  
assign to $str1 the result of a string with a variable in it, which  
is parsed. The result is the contents of the parsed variable, which  
is what you had from the beginning, i.e 'My name is {$name}.'.

For case2: Since you say that this case produces "My name is  
Jonathan.", it's fair to assume that you have a variable $name set to  
'Jonathan' somewhere before the first line of code in case2. What you  
assign to $newhtmlstring2 is a string of text containing one  
variable, and that variable will be parsed since the string is  
delimited by "" ("" parses variables in the string, '' does not). So  
the result is the static text plus the contents (if any) of a  
variable $name. If $name isn't set before this line of code, or if  
it's empty, the result would be "My name is .", but now you  
apparently have it set to "Jonathan".

I'm not really sure what the problem is here. I believe you're simply  
a bit confused about how the PHP code works and executes :)
