$text = "Hello there, <<test>>. My name is <<name>>"; $ASSIGN = array(test => "this is a test", 'name'=> 'BOB', ); $OPENTAG = "<<"; $CLOSETAG = ">>"; print preg_replace( "/$OPENTAG(.*?)$CLOSETAG/e", '$ASSIGN[$1]', $text ); prints: Hello there, this is a test. My name is BOB To do what you want, throw a loop statement around the preg_replace to loop thru each line of a file... etc... :) > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeroen Olthof [mailto:j.olthof@millipede.nl] > Sent: Monday, July 16, 2001 12:01 PM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] string replace using ereg > > > hi, > > I want to replace strings in string using a key / value array as the > replacemant contract > basicly, > I want to find a open en close tag, pick out the word in the middle and > replace it by the value of the key that match the picked out word. > example > > <<test>> <<test>> > > should result in > > this is a test this is a test > > well, The below code works for only one replacement cause when I add another > on the same line. it will pick out > test>> <<test > als the key wordt and therefor isn't able to find this key in the array. > > how can I get the reg expression so it will not only get the first occurence > of the open tag and the last of the close tag ?? > > please help, > > kind regards > Jeroen Olthof > > $ASSIGN = array(test => "this is a test" ) > > $OPENTAG = "<<"; > $CLOSETAG = ">>"; > > while ($line[$i]) { > ereg($OPENTAG."([^*]*)".$CLOSETAG, $line[$i], $regs); > $newString .= str_replace($this->OPENTAG.$regs[1].$this->CLOSETAG, > $ASSIGN[$regs[1]], $line[$i]); > } > > > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net >
