[SOLVED] GRRRRRRRRRRRR

[ToonMariner]

Done this before and can't bloody replicate it...

 

I have a string that contains place holders like so...

 

Hello #name# and welcome to playgroup. You are #age# and have #limbs#.

 

I have an array like so..

<?php
$data['name'] = 'George';
$data['age'] = 3;
$data['limbs'] = 4;
?>

 

so I want to replace #XX# with the corresponding index in the array...

 

something like...

 

preg_replace('/#(.)*?#/',$data['$1'],$str);

 

but I just can't get it...

 

Please help before my monitor takes a hit.

You'll need the /e modifier (execute substitution as PHP code).

 

preg_replace('/#(.)*?#/e',"$data[$1]",$str);

I got it to work - but with the replacement string singled quoted (double quoted failed!)

 

THANK YOU - you are a gentleman and a scholar.

try this..

preg_replace('/#([A-Za-z0-9])?#/e',"$data[$1]",$str);
