I have a PHP + HTML code as a string containing functions. I want some function calls to be replaced with included content. Put together many files to one.
Short example - Before
<html>
<?php myclass->my_function('one', 'two', 'three'); ?>
<h1>Content in between</h1>
<?php myclass->my_function('1', '2'); ?>
</html>
Short example - Replacing content
<html>
<?php run('one', 'two', 'three'); /* Run does include a file */ ?>
<h1>Content in between</h1>
<?php run('1', '2'); /* Run does include a file */ ?>
</html>`
Short example - After
<html>
<?php
/* Start my_function */
echo 'This is the result of my_function one two three';
/* End my_function
?>
<h1>Content in between</h1>
<?php
/* Start my_function */
<?php myclass->my_function('four', 'five', 'six'); ?>
/* End my_function
?>
</html>
Notice that myclass is found in the included content. The result needs to be parsed again.
Short example - After that
The whole this is parsed again and it replaced the myclass with included content.
<html>
<?php
/* Start my_function */
echo 'This is the result of my_function one two three';
/* End my_function */
?>
<h1>Content in between</h1>
<?php
/* Start my_function */
echo 'four five six';
/* End my_function */
?>
</html>
I tried to do this with explode but it went to complex. The two steps "Replacing content" and "After" might need to be done in one move.
Look at it as a string. Can preg_replace solve this? How?
