How can I process text with some codes.
So suppose I have text as below
Hello {::first_name::} {::last_name::},
How are you?
Your organisation is {::organisation::}
For any text between {:: and ::} should be evaluated to get its value.
I tried exploding text to array using space as delimiter and then parsing array items to look for "{::" and if found get string between "{::" and "::}" and calling database to get this field value. So basically these will be db fields.
Below is the code I have tried
$msg = "Hello {::first_name::} {::last_name::},
How are you?
Your organisation is {::organisation::}";
$msg_array = explode(" ", $msg);
foreach ($msg_array as $str) {
if (strpos($str, "{::") !== false) {
$field_str = get_string_between($str, "{::", "::}");
$field_value = $bean->$field_str; //Logic that gets the value of the field
$msgStr .= $field_value . " ";
} else {
$msgStr .= $str . " ";
}
}
function get_string_between($string, $start, $end)
{
$string = ' ' . $string;
$ini = strpos($string, $start);
if ($ini == 0) return '';
$ini += strlen($start);
$len = strpos($string, $end, $ini) - $ini;
return substr($string, $ini, $len);
}
