Preg_replace question

[Gady Laga]

Hi there!

 

I'm trying to use preg_replace to include/get content a php file with dynamic variable

 

$txt = "Bla bla bla bla bla [gls]12[/gls] bla bla bla";
$txt = preg_replace("#\[gls\](.*?)\[/gls\]#si",file_get_contents('shipping.php?id=\\1'),$txt);

 

..and it doesn't work. I can not get ID. When I do like that

$txt = preg_replace("#\[gls\](.*?)\[/gls\]#si","My Id is - \\1"),$txt);

 

i see it, but not when I'm using file_get_contents function.

 

Thanks in advance for help.

This pattern worked for me when I tested:

/.*\[gls\]([\d]*)\[\/gls\].*/

 

Remember you need to escape [, ], and /

So it should be:

 

$txt = "Bla bla bla bla bla [gls]12[/gls] bla bla bla";
$txt = preg_replace("#/.*\[gls\]([\d]*)\[\/gls\].*/#si",file_get_contents('shipping_cost_u.php?id=\\1'),$xt);

 

or else? (doesn't work for me)

 

Sorry but I'm not an expert in php

What are you trying to do?

 

I don't think you're using preg_replace properly.

 

Is this what you want?

$txt = "Bla bla bla bla bla [gls]12[/gls] bla bla bla";
$txt = preg_match("/.*\[gls\]([\d]*)\[\/gls\].*/",$txt, $matches);

$content = file_get_contents('shipping_cost_u.php?id=' . $matches[1]);
