str_replace no replacing?

[LegosJedi]

Okay, so I've written my own template class, but for some reason, it's not replacing any of the keys in the templates. Here's the code for the template class:

 

<?php
class template
{
var $all = array();
var $tmpl_name;

function output($filename, $existing = "", $replace = "")
{
	//global $settings;

	//$file = $settings['siteroot'].$settings['tmpl_dir'].$this->tmpl_name.$filename.".tpl";
	$file = CM_ROOT.$this->tmpl_name.$filename.".tpl";
	if(!file_exists($file))
	{
		echo '<b>Error:</b> Template file cannot be located.<br /><br />
We are trying to find <a href="'.$file.'">'.$file.'</a> in.<br />
<b>PROCESS SKIPPED.</b> <font color="red">Please notify the administrator about this problem.</font><hr />';
	}
	else
	{
		$template = file_get_contents($file);
		$template = str_replace("{".$existing[$filename]."}", $replace[$filename], $template);
		$template = str_replace("{".$this->all['existing']."}", $this->all['replace'], $template);
		echo $template;
	}
}
}
?>

 

When $existing and $replace are inputted, they're supposed to be arrays.

looks like it should work. Try putting some 'echo's in there to see the values.

 

BTW get a good debugger for PHP, makes this sort of thing 10,000% easier to debug. I use NuSphere and it is cool.

The curly braces may need to be escaped I believe, but yea try echoing the variables to make sure they contain what you expect.

[LegosJedi]

Okay, I will. Thanks for the tips!

(Sorry for double post)

 

Okay, I tried escaping the brackets, and that didn't work. Then I echoed the variables, and they all contained what they needed to contain. Any other tips?

[per1os]

I think you only would need to escape one bracket. I am not sure which but give that a try.

[LegosJedi]

Nope. Still doesn't work.

Maybe try ereg_replace() http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg-replace.php

That somewhat worked. Some of the things that need to be displayed are displayed, but they aren't where they are supposed to be. Link
