Template File has PHP variables. ?

Anon

Hi-

I have a template file that has some PHP variables inside of it. I would like to pass through the template and evaluate any variables inside the template file.

<<TEMPLATE FILE>>
blah html code
<MARKER>$variable1<REKRAM>
blah html code

I can write PHP code to go line by line through the code to find the "marked" code.

$myLine=preg_replace("/(.?)<MARKER>(.?)<REKRAM>(.*?)/","$1$2$3",$myLine);

How do I eval() $2 ?

Is there an easier way?

-TIA

I think you may need to reword your question. So you have a template and you set variables in it which you need later in your script. Well if you're using phplib your template object is still available and you can get the variables from it. However your example makes me wonder which template system you are using!

One of the problems people have is putting info on a page and then needing it for javascript or next page handling. that's ok. either build it into any hyperlinks on the page or put the values into a hidden form with hidden fields and the javascript can then reference the form and go from there. If the form has "real" fields put the hidden fields with them and they will be submitted with the "real" data.

for an example of see the order entry page on http://www.pcpropertymanager.com.

hope this helps.
