If I understand you correctly, you easily do this using search and replace functions in PHP. latheesan 08-16-2009, 12:50 PM Yea, a simple search and replace would work like this: my_template.htm - simple example <html> <head> <title>%title%</title> </head> <body> <p> Hello, my name is %name% and i am %age% years old! </p> </body> </html> and you would process the above html file like this in PHP index.php - simple example <?php // load the contents of template file $html = file_get_contents('my_template.htm'); // search for the following $search = array('%title%', '%name%', '%age%'); // replace it with the following $replace = array('Personel Page', 'Latheesan', 21); // do the actual search & replace str_replace($search, $replace, $html); // print the page echo $html; ?> |
