Help with PHP - preg_replace()

**callumacrae** · 04-17-2010 05:04 AM

Hi,

I'm trying to get my script to work. What I'm doing at the moment is I have a file (header.html):

HTML Code:

<html>
<body>
<title>%BOARD_NAME% &bull; %PAGE_TITLE%</title>
</head>
<body>
<table border="1px" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<h1>%BOARD_NAME%</h1>
<p>%BOARD_DESC%</p>
<p><a href="index.php">Index</a><br /><a href="viewf.php">View Forum</a><br /><a href="viewt.php">View Topic</a></p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<br />

and style.php:

PHP Code:


<?php



include("./config.php");



function start_page($title)

{

    global $config, $func;

    $header = $func->get_include_contents("./styles/" . $config['style'] . "/header.html");

    $patterns = array('/%BOARD_NAME%/', '/%BOARD_DESC%/', '/%PAGE_TITLE%/');

    $replace = array($config['board_name'], $config['board_desc'], $title);

    echo preg_replace($patterns, $replace, $header);

}

?>

Then when start_page() it called from another page it echos header.html, but with certain information changed.

Currently I am having to type everything out manually - is there any way to get it to automatically do the arrays from what I've already got?

en.php

PHP Code:


<?php



$lang = array(



// Common language



        'LOGIN'    => "Log In",

        'REGISTER' => "Register",

        'WELCOME_MESSAGE' => "Welcome to the boards, we hope you enjoy as much you do",

        'COPYRIGHT' => "Copyright &copy; BLAH 2012",

        'FORUMS' => "Forums",

        'TOPICS' => "Topics"

);

?>

(these are not the full scripts, just enough to tell you what they do.)

Is there anyway way to change $lang to two arrays? Eg:

$lang = "LOGIN", "REGISTER" etc
$lang2 = "Log in", "Register" etc

I'm thinking a combination of print_f and preg_replace might do that.

If you can help then thanks :D

Array_keys and Array_values o exactly what you ask. How about something like this:

PHP Code:


<?php 
$header = $func->get_include_contents("./styles/" . $config['style'] . "/header.html"); 
$lang = array( 
        'LOGIN'    => "Log In", 
        'REGISTER' => "Register", 
        'WELCOME_MESSAGE' => "Welcome to the boards, we hope you enjoy as much you do", 
        'COPYRIGHT' => "Copyright &copy; BLAH 2012", 
        'FORUMS' => "Forums", 
        'TOPICS' => "Topics" 
); 

$keys = array_keys($lang);
$values = array_values ($lang);
echo preg_replace($keys, $values, $header);
?>

Thank you! :D

Those three lines could actually be truncated down to one:

PHP Code:


echo preg_replace(array_keys($lang), array_values($lang), $header);

I think it still thinks I don't exist, try clicking my username and you'll see
