Hi,
I am still searching a function in PHP to execute variable replacement in strings.
Other languages do have this, but for PHP I can only find sprintf() and string replace.
I have
$t = ' - solved - ';
$msg = 'The problem is $t';
I want now:
echo fxx($msg);
print out "The problem is - solved - ".
Please don't tell me about $msg = "The problem is $t"; just think of $msg like a
template read from a file.
/Str.
There's also preg_replace(), but that's a bit of overkill for something so simple.
str_replace() works fine, especially since both the search and replace parameters can be arrays. But when using message templates, I don't use variable names - it ties the template tightly to the code.
Rather, I use templates like:
$t = ' - solved - ';
$template = 'The problem is %PROB_STAT%';
echo str_replace('%PROB_STAT%', $t, $template);
Or, if you had the possibility of more than one string to substitute:
$search = array('$PROB_STAT%');
$replace = array($t);
echo str_replace('%PROB_STAT%', $t, $template);
Your method requires the template know that $t is the value in the program, and requires the program to ensure $t is defined properly in this scope. Neither is a good idea.
