Convert ##TITLE## to $title

[TEENFRONT]

Hi

 

Im half way through making an article manager for a new site im launching. If i type ##TITLE## into a text box, when i display the artcile, how do i turn the placeholder ##TITLE## into $title of the article.

 

i looked at str_replace but i dont think thats what i need... i need something that searched through the text of a var and if it finds anything within ##*## to convert the * into the $var. I dont know where to start, cheers if anyone can help!

look into regex, used with strreplace()

<?php

$title = "foobar";
$string = "##TITLE##<br />Welcome to my article!";

$output = str_replace("##TITLE##", $title, $string);

echo $output;

?>
