note 82826 added to function.str-replace

The example presented by bladescope at googlemail dot com has a couple of syntax errors. This works: <?php $template = "The {color} {object} is in {location}"; $array = array( '{object}' => 'Ball', '{color}' => 'Red', '{location}' => 'The Playground', ); foreach ($array as $search => $replace) { $template = str_replace($search, $replace, $template); } print $template; ?> I did not check it for speed or thoroughly test it, but this function seems to do the same thing more succinctly. <?php function template($array, $template) { return str_replace( array_keys($array), array_values($array), $template ); } echo template( array( '{color}' => 'red', '{object}' => 'ball', '{location}' => 'the playground', ), 'The {color} {object} is in {location}.' ); ?> ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 71.53.82.237 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/82826 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82826/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82826/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82826/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82826/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82826/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82826/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82826 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/82826 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
