Dears I am trying replace anything between '{!' and '!}' i.e {!A!} and {!B!} and {!ABC!} with XYZ. I tried the following but no help. Can anyone help? $this->template=str_replace("{!*!}","XYZ",$this->template); Thank you

IIRC str_replace does not use any type of globbing. You need to use one of the function that uses regular expresions I prefer preg_replace personally. regexes can get complicated looking pretty quick but are an incredibly powerful mechanism once you understand even the rudiments. I would place my self in that catagory.

echo preg_replace("/{\!(.*)\!}/","{!REPLACED!}","erg9872et {!---SUPERDUPER---!}gjhgo6*%^*&^%Y)7ygr9 y2343");
