Actually, wouldn't the string then be equal to 'this not is not a var.' ??

Richard,
The problem is with the str_replace()s. Consider the following:



At this point $myvar still equals 'this is a var.' but $mytext is 'this is
not a var.' $myvar hasn't been modfified by the str_replace so any
additional str_replace()s after it will not have a cumlative effect.



Something like the above would have the effect you're looking for.

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,

Re: [PHP] email templates and str_replace

2001-06-20 Thread Zak Greant 

Hi Richard,

You are replacing the placeholders in $mail_template, but you are storing
the results in $mail_content.

> $mail_content = str_replace('##fullname##',$fullname,$mail_template);
> $mail_content = str_replace('##email##',$email,$mail_template);

This means that each time you call the str_replace function, you are
overwriting what was generated by the previous call to str_replace.

Just change $mail_content to $mail_template and everything should work.
