note 107270 added to function.preg-replace-callback

This small class allows PHP users to read JSON files with include statements in them. For instance the include {{{ "relative/to/including.json" }}} is replaced by the content of the json file located at "relative/to/including.json". <?php /** * Handles JSON files with includes * Purpose: handle bigger JSON files by featuring "includes" * * @author Florian Arndt */ class JWI { /** * Parses a JSON file and returns its contents * @param String $filename */ static function read($filename) { if(!file_exists($filename)) throw new Exception('<b>JWI Error: JSON file <tt>'.$filename.'</tt> not found!</b>'); $content = join('', file($filename)); $dir = dirname($filename); /** * replace * include statements * with * content of the file to include * recursively */ $content = preg_replace_callback( '/{{{\s*"\s*(.+)\s*"\s*}}}/', // >include file< - pattern create_function( '$matches', // callback parameter sprintf( '$fn = "%s/".$matches[1];'. 'return JWI::read($fn);', realpath(dirname($filename)) ) ), $content ); return $content; } } ---- Server IP: 212.124.37.9 Probable Submitter: 83.236.140.111 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace-callback.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/107270 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107270/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107270/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107270/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107270/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107270/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107270/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107270 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/107270 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
