what is the best way for the :: Tag parsing ::

[Dart]

hi all 🙂
what a nice day 🙂

i just wanna ask about the tag parsing using PHP

i've used the " preg_* " function to get the tag from a txt file
and then get the tag action and then replace the hole tag with a sql result according to the action

an example

<dart action="dartd" >

the script search for " <dart " tag then parse the action "dartd"

my question is
" Is the "preg_*" function the best way to get and parse the tags using PHP

thanks for your time 🙂

How about looking into phemplate (google) or bTemplate (google). They can do what you want, and more. My own experience is once you start get a good one else you are re-coding all your shit once more.

What about using an xml-file as your txt-file and utilize php's built-in expat xml parser?
The changes are minimal:
You just have to insert a start/end tag for your file and write your tags like this:
<dart action="dartd" />
Maybe that can help you to reach an easy solution. If you have never worked with php's xml functions, check the manual and post your questions here.
