How

I was wondering how I would go about doing something like this:

 

{title}lala{/title}

 

Thats what smarty uses, and I was wondering how I can do the same thing using php, a function that gets the info inside a tag. Thanks

You'll have to use regex for that. Check out the regex forum for similar posts.

I looked at the php function ereg, but I still dont get how I would find the title.

You'll need to understand regex in order to use any of the ereg_* or preg_* functions.

 

Here are some resources on regex

I made this function, seems to work. How is it?

 

function get_info($tag, $content) {
$content = preg_replace("@\{" . $tag . "\}(.+?)\{\/" . $tag . "\}@", "" . $tag . " = $1", $content);
return $content;
}

I'm no regex expert so cant give you any feedback on the efficiency of your regex. However you could modify you regex abit so it finds tags automatically, like:

function get_info($content)
{
$content = preg_replace('@\{([a-z]+)\}(.+)\{\/\1\}@is', "$1 = $2<br />", $content);
return $content;
}

$str = '{title}lala{/title}

{body}hello world{/body}';

echo get_info($str);
