Re: [PHP] email templates and str_replace

Mr. Kurth,

Try this. Save the mail template to another file [like mailtemplate.txt] then open it for reading.

//read in template

$template = file("mailtemplate.txt");

//setup variables

$fullname="Richard Kurth";
$email="[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$hostdomain="northwesthost.com";
    $hostname="www";
    $domain="twohot";
        $tld=".com";
$baseip="234.444.45.444";
$username="rkurth";
$password="boat";
$userdatabase="twohot";
$newuser="twohot";
$newuserpass="twohot";
$sales="sales";
$domainname=$hostname . "." . $domain . $tld;

//iterate through the template replacing the items

for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($template); $i++) {

$template[i] = str_replace('##fullname##',$fullname,$template[i]);
$template[i] = str_replace('##email##',$email,$template[i]);

    $template[i] = str_replace('##domain##',$domainname,$template[i]);
    $template[i] = str_replace('##ip##',$baseip,$template[i]);
    $template[i] = str_replace('##username##',$username,$template[i]);
    $template[i] = str_replace('##password##',$password,$template[i]);
    $template[i] = str_replace('##userdatabase##',$userdatabase,$template[i]);
    $template[i] = str_replace('##newuser##',$newuser,$template[i]);
    $template[i] = str_replace('##newuserpass##',$newuserpass,$template[i]);
    $template[i] = str_replace('##hostdomain##',$hostdomain,$template[i]);
    $template[i] = str_replace('##sales##',$sales,$template[i]);

}

//Now the array $template contains our message, parsed and all

//from here we can implode it into one string, or we can leave

//it be to do further things to it. The example from above is

//similar to the method I use in my TemplateEngine I wrote a

//little while back, I might just include the source some time.

Hope this helps,
