Question

I am currently trying to add tokens to a CMS using PHP.

The user can enter (into a WYSIWYG Editor) a string such as [my_include.php]. We would like to extract anything with this format, and turn it into an include of the following format:

include('my_include.php');

Can anyone assist with composing the RegExp and extraction process to allow this? Ideally, I would like to extract them all into a single array, so that we can provide some checking before parsing it as the include();?

Thanks!

preg_replace('~\[([^\]]+)\]~', 'include "\\1";', $str);
