text replacements help

[nico_swd]

No, I'll try to explain better.

The main text is held in the variable $message.
We create a new variable called $test, which is equal to $message, just with the replaced words. So we want to replace more words, we'll use the $test variable as third argument in str_replace() as $test contains the variables we replaced first. We want these plus the ones we're gonna replace now.

Do you understand? $message remains untouched as we assign the NEW text to a different variable. So use this new variable for the other replacements too.

PHP Code:


$test = @str_replace("{username}", $vbulletin->userinfo['username'], $message);
$test = @str_replace("{userid}", $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], $test);
$test = @str_replace("{blah}", $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], $test);
$test = @str_replace("{blah2}", $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], $test);

//... 


Another option is using arrays as arguments.

PHP Code:

$replacements = array(
   '{username}' => $vbulletin->userinfo['username'],
   '{userid}'   => $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'],
   '{blah}'     => $vbulletin->userinfo['blah']
   // ...
);

$test = str_replace(array_keys($replacements), array_values($replacements), $message);
