split + str_replace + loop

[chocopi]

At the moment i have a list of all these different str_replaces and i just think it is wasting too much space. Id there a way i could store them in a .txt file and then take them when neccessary, i will show you what i mean

 

in bb.txt

 

[red]:<font color="#ff0000">
[/red]:</font>

 

then in the actual file have something like this:

 

<?php
$text = $_POST['text'];
$file = file_get_contents('bb.txt');
$line = explode("\n",$file);
list($part1,$part2) = explode (':',$line);
$text = str_replace($part1,$part2,$text);
?>

 

However i think that for this to work, i will need a loop

 

If you can shed some light, i would be greatful

<?php

$text = $_POST["text"];

$lines = file("bb.txt");

foreach($lines as $line) {
list($find, $replace) = explode(":", $line);
$text = str_replace($find, $replace, $text);
}

?>
