Question

I have some api pattern url with params:

http://api.example.com/{type}/{function}?{parameters}&lang={lang}&authkey={authkey}&username={username}

What is the best way to replace params for values, maybe some magic class there is?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I think you dont need to use magic for simple task like this.

Just use str_replace to replace “{function}” (in that “template”) with some variable value.

For {parameters}, which can be multiple you may write small function that puts these parameters into one variable and makes something like this: &param_1=value1&param_2=value2 from array like this: $parameters = array("param_1" => "value 1", "param_2 => "value 2");

Maybe something like this:

function parameters_to_str($params)
{
    foreach(with keys as parameter names)
    {
        $ret_val = $ret_val."&".$key."=".$value;
    }

    return $ret_val;
}

... etc.

I hope you get the idea.
