Note Submitter: Jck_true (leave out the &#39;_&#39; at gmail dot com) ---- A usefull function that returns a flat array. I use it in a template system. Let the user pass a multidimensional array. Convert it using my function. Then use <?php $array = flatten($array,'','{$','}','->'); echo str_replace(array_keys($array),array_values($array),$template) /** * Flattens out an multidimension array * Using the last parameters you can define the new key based on the old path. * @param array $array A multidimension array * @param string $prefix Internal perfix parameter - leave empty. * @param string $start_string What string should start the final array key? * @param string $end_string What string should end the final array key? * @param string $seperator The string that should seperate the piecies in final array key path * @return array Returns the flat array */ function flatten($array, $start_string= '{$',$end_string= '}',$seperator='->',$prefix="") { $return = array(); foreach($array as $key=>$value) { if (is_array($value)) { $return = array_merge($return, Parser_method_replace::flatten($value, $prefix.$key.$seperator,$start_string,$end_string,$seperator)); } else $return [$start_string.$prefix.$key.$end_string] = $value; } return $return; } } ?> Example: $template = 'My string with replacement {$test->subkey}'; {$test->subkey} will get replaced with $array['test']['subkey']
