Regex replace
regex_replace — A regular expression search and replace on a variable. Use the preg_replace() syntax from the PHP manual.
<?php
$tplix->assign('articleTitle',
"Infertility unlikely to\nbe passed on, experts say."
);Although Tplix supplies this regex convenience modifier, it is usually better to apply regular expressions in PHP, either via custom functions or modifiers. Regular expressions are considered application code and are not part of presentation logic.
Basic Usage:
{$articleTitle|regex_replace:"/foo/":"bar"}| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | string | Yes | This is the regular expression to be replaced. |
| 1 | string | Yes | This is the string of text to replace with. |
Where the template is:
{* replace each carriage return, tab and new line with a space *}
{$articleTitle}
{$articleTitle|regex_replace:"/[\r\t\n]/":" "}
Output:
Infertility unlikely to
be passed on, experts say.
Infertility unlikely to be passed on, experts say.
