I am using the following:

$content = file_get_contents(http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=36.37870&lon=-86.45310&f6=1&mp=1);

preg_match(#<td align="left">Nashville</td>
<td align="left">(.*)</td>#, $content, $match);

$price = $match[1];

the above works, but I am now trying to use a variable intead of hard coding:

$city=Nashville;
$content = file_get_contents(http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=36.37870&lon=-86.45310&f6=1&mp=1);

preg_match(#<td align="left">$city</td>
<td align="left">(.*)</td>#, $content, $match);

I have tried all kinds of combinations like /$city/, {$city}, but I cant get it to take my variable.
