Hi,
I’m trying to make a templating system that replaces certain patterns (using preg_replace), like {{ variable }} would be turned into <?=$variable?> in the document – does that make sense? So, here’s my code for the document:
Code:
include(‘classes/template_classes.php’);
$template = ”
{{ title }}
This is my site, by {{ author }}
{% foreach news as article %}
{{ article[‘title’] }}
{{ article[‘body’] }}
{% else %}
There are currently no articles
{% endforeach %}
“;
$tpl = new Template;
$tpl->replace_variables($template);
And here is the code I have that should be replacing at LEAST the ‘{{ title }}’ area right now…
Code:
final class Template
{
public function replace_variables($template)
{
$replace = preg_replace(“/{{([.*]+)}}”,”“,$template);
//echo $tempalte;
//find anything that exists within {{ * }}
//find out what * is
//replace it how it’s supposed to be replaced
//if it isn’t definded, say so
echo $template;
}
}
Please help me understand what I’m doing wrong in my regex so I can make this work. I appreciate any help. I have looked at tutorials for days and can’t figure it out!!!
