Hey,
I'm trying to make a regular expression (PHP) that replaces something like{{Subpages(2, 3, ASC)}}with<? Subpages(2, 3, ASC); ?>. Thought it would be easy to do this, but I can't get it to work...{{Subpages(number, number, ASC or DESC)}}to<? Subpages($1, $2, $3); ?>, only then in a way preg_replace can handle it... :)
Maybe someone (with a bit more knowledge of regular expressions than me) can help me out? -
<?php
$yourstring = "{{TEST}}";
$yourstring = preg_replace("/}}/","; ?".">",preg_replace("/{{/","<?php ",$yourstring));
?>
Maybe there's a better way; who knows? Not me. -
The string is not just {{TEST}}
The string could be (example):<div id="subpages4">
<h2>Subpages of page#4</h2>
{{Subpages(4, 20, DESC)}}
</div>
{{Subpages(4, 20, DESC)}} is a 'template tag', which will generate a list of 'subpages'. (The first number is the ID of the page I want to display the subpages of, the second number is the maximum amount of subpages that will be displayed, and ASC/DESC will order them by date/time.)
So, I need to convert this 'template tag' to <? Subpages(4, 20, DESC); ?> so the PHP function 'Subpages' will be executed.
I hope I'm making any sense here :-P -
that is exactly what the code snippet I posted does...
-
Not exactly. Well, it does, but it simply converts {{ to <? and }} to ; ?>
So if someone types {{blahblah}} in his template... it will get converted to <? blahblah; ?>
I has to be in a way it only converts the template tags I defined manually, not just everything between {{ and }} -
Okay I *finally* have it working now, this is what I've got:
$Body = preg_replace("/\{\{Subpages\((\d+), (\d+), (ASC|DESC)\)\}\}/i", "<? Subpages($1, $2, $3); ?>", $Body);
