templates, NOT fast template

Hi,

I want to use templates with PHP but I hate the fact of fast template that you have to manually assign each variable.
Now I have the following function written in perl and this function automaticly converts eacht variable with the corresponding value:

function Template
{ local(*FILE); # filehandle
local($file); # file pathlocal($HTML); # HTML data
$file = $_[0] | | die "Template : No template file specifiedn";
open(FILE, "<$file") | | die "Template : Couldn't open $file : $!n";
while (<FILE> )
{ $HTML .= $_;
}
close(FILE);

$HTML =~ s/$(w+)/${$1}/g;

return $HTML;
}

Anyone who can translate this in PHP for me?
It's mostly this line of code: $HTML =~ s/$(w+)/${$1}/g;

Thanks! URL

No-one? URL

C'mon guys! Don't tell me there are no php-guru's out here who can give me at least a hint

Hi,

I don't have the time to translate the code for you but s/$(w+)/${$1}/g is a regular expression and you can probably use almost the same code as most regular expression in languages like Javascript and PHP have adopted the Perl-expressions.

You can use the perl regex replace function, this is off the top of my head, you should check the PHP reference for exact syntax:

$HTML = preg_replace("$(w+)", "${1}", $HTML);
