You can use regular expressions to accomplish this, as explained by the tutorials and examples on http://www.regular-expressions.info

This can be accomplished using regular expressions and preg_replace_callback. Like this:

 

$text =<<<TEXT
<<WordPress>> widgets are the dynamic objects which eases the customization of the content on <<sidebars>> and widgetized <<footers>>. <<Widgets>> allows drag-n-drop interface in the Dashboard <<admin panel>>, for easy <<management>>.
TEXT;

$text = preg_replace_callback(
'~<<([^>]+)>>~',
create_function(
	'$match',
	'return "<a href=\"" . str_replace(" ", "-", $match[1]) . ".php\">" . $match[1] . "</a>";'
),
$text
);

echo $text;

 

Or using anonymous functions if you have PHP 5.3.0+ installed:

 

$text =<<<TEXT
<<WordPress>> widgets are the dynamic objects which eases the customization of the content on <<sidebars>> and widgetized <<footers>>. <<Widgets>> allows drag-n-drop interface in the Dashboard <<admin panel>>, for easy <<management>>.
TEXT;

$text = preg_replace_callback(
'~<<([^>]+)>>~',
function($match) {
	return "<a href=\"" . str_replace(" ", "-", $match[1]) . ".php\">" . $match[1] . "</a>";
},
$text
);

echo $text;

wow great ..

 

thanks alot ...

 

but I have a question ..

 

what does '~<<([^>]+)>>~' mean?

 

how can use it ?

 

 

[Alex]

That's a regular expression. That pattern essentially matches everything between << and >>.
