PHP File Template

PHP File Template

A text file can be used as a template.

File Content (book.txt)

This is a template text file that we are going to use with our template engine.

The book Infor: 
Author: {:author} 
Price:  {:price}
Publisher: {:publisher}
Title:		{:title}
Info:	{:body}	

Example 1

Use str_replace() function to replace string within the template with the user define string.

<?php

$file = 'book.txt';

$template_aa = array(
	 '{:author}',
	 '{:price}',
	 '{:publisher}',
	 '{:title}',
	 '{:body}');
$array_aa = array(
	 'Jannifer Bill',
	 30,
	 'Orailly',
	 'PHP/MySQL',
	 'It\' a book for Web Developer and MySQL');

if (file_exists($file)) {
	$file_content = file_get_contents($file);
	$fin_content = str_replace($template_aa, $array_aa, $file_content);
	print nl2br($fin_content);
}
?>

Output

Author: Jannifer Bill 
Price: 30
Publisher: Orailly
