preg_replace

xwin

I'm trying to get my preg_replace to execute an include:

This code prints a list of the files i want executed...

        function replaceCommonTemplates($template) {

        $search = '/\<common_template=\"(.*?)\"\>/' ;
        $replace = '$1.php' ;
        $template = preg_replace($search, $replace, $template) ;

        return $template ;

Output:

Content-type: text/html
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.10
Set-Cookie: ZDEDebuggerPresent=php,phtml,php3; path=/

header.php
navigation.php
form_start.php
text_field.php
password_field.php
submit.php
form_end.php
footer.php

Then I modify it to this:

        function replaceCommonTemplates($template) {

        $search = '/\<common_template=\"(.*?)\"\>/' ;
        $replace = '$1.php' ;
        $template = preg_replace($search, include(SKIN_PATH."common_template/$replace"), $template) ;

        return $template ;

    }

but get:

Debug session started.
Debug Warning: C:\Files\core\lib\skin.php line 42 - replacecommontemplates(C:/Files/skin/common_template/$1.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Debug Warning: C:/Files\core\lib\skin.php line 42 - replacecommontemplates(): Failed opening 'C:/Files/skin/common_template/$1.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear')
Debug session ended.

$1 - seems like its not converting the $1 to its name like above?

Thanks for any help...

include(SKIN_PATH."common_template/$replace")
is evaluated before the preg_replace happens. So you are doing this:

$replace2 = include(SKIN_PATH."common_template/$replace");
$template = preg_replace($search, $replace2, $template) ;

Print $replace2 to debug.

I think what you want is this:

$search = '/\<common_template=\"(.*?)\"\>/' ;
$replace = SKIN_PATH.'common_template/$1.php';
$template = preg_replace($search, $replace, $template) ;

Why is 'include()' inside your function?
If you really want it to include() right there, you'll need the '/e' modifier:

$search = '/\<common_template=\"(.*?)\"\>/e' ;
$replace = 'include(SKIN_PATH."common_template/$1.php")';
$template = preg_replace($search, $replace, $template) ;

Thanks, that last one works great...

Yes I do want to use include there (includes the common template)

One more thing...

The contents of the files being included are html but with php variables...

i.e. there would be a <div id="somediv">{$output['var']}</div>

However these are being output as text, any way to make sure they are php?
