Replace variables in php

[John Wilson]

Hi
I have created a php program. In my php page I retrieve the data from the mysql database like this.

<object type="asd" class="abc" width="{wid}" height="{heig}" name="xyz"></object>

I want the php to automatically replace those {wid} & {heig}, I want it because they are already declared in the php file as $wid=100 $heig=100. Any help or suggestion on this. Thanks in advance.

Hi
I have posted a part of code, just check if it works for you.

<object type="asd" class="abc" width="<?php echo $wid;?>" height="<?php echo $heig;?>" name="xyz"></object>

Or you can just try this, if the above does not work.

<object type="asd" class="abc" width="'.$width.'" height="'.$height.'" name="xys"></object>

Hope this will work with you. Any problem please do post back.

Hi
Thanks for the reply
But this is not what I was looking for. What I want is the {wid} and I only have to use it nothing else, not the other thing which you have mentioned. By the way str_replace can work in this solution, no sure though. Need to check it out. Any other ideas of how to solve it.

Hi
You may want to try out something like this.

$template = <= Data from the database

$template = str_replace("{wid}",$wid,$template);
$template = str_replace("{heig}",$heig,$template);

str_replace works with arrays to

$template = <= Data from the database

$search = array{"{wid}","{heig}"};
$rep = array{$wid,$heig};

$template = str_replace($search,$rep,$template);

Any problem do post back.
