note 119959 added to function.vsprintf

Instead of inventing own functions in case you'd like to use array keys as placeholder names and replace corresponding array values in a string, just use the str_replace: $string = 'Hello %name!'; $data = array( '%name' => 'John' ); $greeting = str_replace(array_keys($data), array_values($data), $string); ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 83.219.72.162 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.vsprintf.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/119959 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119959/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119959/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119959/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119959/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119959/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119959/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119959 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/119959 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
