Searching variable for { }

[PHPTOM]

Hey,

Looking to find a solution to something. I have been experimenting making a template engine for a website I am building. How can I search a variable for all occurrences of {VARIABLE} eg. {Username} {Title} {Content} so I can str_replace them.

 

Thank you

$subject = "whatever you are searching";

 

// this will find all of the items and put into $matches array
preg_match_all('~\{([^\}]+)\}~',$subject,$matches);

// alternatively, this will find the items and replace them with something
$subject = preg_replace('~\{([^\}]+)\}~','replacement here',$string);
