Re: ereg_replace with assoc array?

Thanks for the feedback! From the docs it appears that I can do this: $string = file.tpl; //html mixed with {placeholders} $array = fetch_mysql_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC); //array of field => values echo strtr($string, $array); //passing only 2 arguments means 2nd is array one thing - I want to use special {} characters in my file.tpl. Does anyone know if there is some way I can tell strtr to only evaluate items in {} tag for replacing? regards, jaxon On 2/8/01 5:49 PM, "Brad S.
