PHP function to delete all between certain character(s) in string

Question

I\'m interested in function delete_all_between($char1, $char2, $string) that will search given $string for $char1 and $char2 and, if such has been found, clear

Answer 1

Actually, I was looking for a function, which gives me simple and stable solution to grab out all the variables of TWIG template. The proposed regexps did not work well for many reasons so I decided to go by just erasing all the content between tags instead of counting tags ^_^.

/**
     * deletes ALL the string contents between all the designated characters
     * @param $start - pattern start 
     * @param $end   - pattern end
     * @param $string - input string, 
     * @return mixed - string
     */
    function auxDeleteAllBetween($start, $end, $string) {
        // it helps to assembte comma dilimited strings
        $string = strtr($start. $string . $end, array($start => ','.$start, $end => chr(2)));
        $startPos  = 0;
        $endPos = strlen($string);
        while( $startPos !== false && $endPos !== false){
            $startPos = strpos($string, $start);
            $endPos = strpos($string, $end);
            if ($startPos === false || $endPos === false) {
                $run = false;
                return $string;
            }
            $textToDelete = substr($string, $startPos, ($endPos + strlen($end)) - $startPos);
            $string = str_replace($textToDelete, '', $string);
        }
        return $string;
    }

    /**
     * This function is intended to replace
     * //preg_match_all('/\{\%\s*([^\%\}]*)\s*\%\}|\{\{\s*([^\}\}]*)\s*\}\}/i', $this->_tplSubj, $matchesSubj);
     * which did not give intended results for some reason.
     *
     * @param $inputTpl
     * @return array
     */
    private function auxGetAllTags($inputTpl){
        $inputTpl = strtr($inputTpl, array('}}' => ','.chr(1), '{{' => chr(2)));
        return explode(',',$this->auxDeleteAllBetween(chr(1),chr(2),$inputTpl));
    }


$template = '
Dear {{jedi}},
New {{padawan}} is waiting for your approval: 
...';

print_r($this->auxGetAllTags($template));
