[SOLVED] REGEX Request: Find string between {$ and }

[stuartmarsh]

Hi all,

Could someone please supply me with a regex that I can use with preg_match_all to find all strings between {$ and }?

Example:

Test String: Some {$example} text

Match: example

I want to use this in a templating engine so I can replace all matches with the appropriate variable.

 

Cheers

You could just use str_replace() for that, unless you're like, adding modifiers and stuff like Smarty does.

Yea I plan to implement it in a way like Smarty.

Developers will be able to assign their own content to template variables, i.e. {$menu}, {$content}, {$function()}, etc.

function repfunc($match){
  // do something with $match[1]
  // return something effectively replacing $match[0]
}
$out=preg_replace_callback('/\{(\$[^}]*)\}/','repfunc',$in);

This should do very nicely.

Thank you!
