Question

Hi I have a string replace:

$sHTML = str_replace( "[+fs.area.'{$member[ "town" ]}'+]", hello", $sHTML );

I have multiple towns in the database and i cannot go adding static short codes for each town as the user maybe adding towns later, i basically want to put into the html:

[+fs.area.townname+] which in this case will show hello am i doing something wrong or is there another way i can go about it?

This is not wordpress, i did some searching and found there was a way to do it in wordpress but thats not what i want.

Answer 1

1. You can populate $member array from db
2. You can use +fs.area.*+ regular expressions

But I think you want to create key/value table

key: +fs.area.glasgow+
value: Glasgow

key: +fs.area.Glasgowe+
value: Glasgow

and you want to select record from table for key and replace occurence with value in string.
