Question

Not sure if PHP can do this so I thought I’d ask the experts:

I want to have an array of strings within which I have a placeholder:

array (
  1 => "this is string $1",
  2 => "this is string $2");

I then want to reference this in many pages and pass the value dependent on the page:

e.g.
print (array[‘1’], “value to replace $1”)

Is this possible?

Thanks

I recommend using sprintf()

echo sprintf('this string is %s', $array[1]);
