How can I make a php script that like, wherever I put like... %T in the page, it would replace it with whatever the file name is.

So for example if the page was:

http://www.site.com/blah/is-a-sexy-guy.html

and in that page it said "Shaun %T!"

Then anyone who when to it, it would say "Shaun is a sexy guy!"

nvm i figured it out

would you mind telling us not very php experienced webbies how you did that? i would like to learn this kind of stuff. (oh boy does it have many applications!)

oh gee the plastic min-baloons fell out of the pencils cup. :o

Basic String Replace....

read it here: http://http://us4.php.ne...eplace.php

would you mind posting the code? or a shortened version of the code for you doing that with the sitecom/blah thing?

This first example is simple...
In the str_replace() function, you have 3 terms. the first, %body%, is the term or terms that you want replaced. The second, black, is what you want to replace the first term with. The third is the code where you want the string replacement to occur...

Next, using the array() function, we can choose multiple terms to be replaced. Therefore, with $vowels as the first term, you will replacing everything in the array (all the vowels). Leaving the second term blank (still quotations, but no space between) will cause no replacement in the third term, Hello World of PHP. Vowels will be removed and it will now be: Hll Wrld f PHP. Note, just in case, that everything in the array is being replaced by the same thing.

Like the example above, we are replacing multiple terms in an array. This time, however, we have a second array which contains the three different words we want to replace the old words. All arrays are respective, so fruits is replaced with pizza, vegitables with beer, and fiber with ice cream. $newphrase then creates the new sentence with the str_replace function. Note that when using a variable in the str_replace function, no quotation marks are used.

I hope that helps.
