[SOLVED] Combine two Preg_Replace

[tqla]

Hello, is it possible to combine the following 2 preg_replace's into 1?

 

preg_replace('/{{FirstName}}/i', "$i_FirstName", $txtbody);
preg_replace('/{{LastName}}/i', "$i_LastName", $txtbody);

Why are you using preg_replace() for that instead of str_replace?

[tqla]

it's inherited code, 1000's of lines of it so I am hesitant to make a drastic change.

 

This is already there:

 

$txtbody = preg_replace('/{{FirstName}}/i', "$i_FirstName", $txtbody);

 

I wish to add another to replace Lastname. So I was hoping that I can do 2 in one shot.

 

Is this possible?

[DarkWater]

$patten = array('/{{FirstName}}/i', '/{{LastName}}/i');

$replace = array($i_FirstName, $i_LastName);

$txtbody = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $txtbody);

 

Just to let you know, that's a highly inefficient system.  Are you using it for templating?  I'd suggest using something like Smarty, because your page load times will suffer if you keep hardcoding those in like that.

OIC. Thanks DarkWater.  I'm sure you're right about Smart/Curl but it's an old website that I cannot redo.
