Best practice to replace a string with html code (results from array)

Given a string like this…

$htmlPattern = "User name is: #name# and user company is #company#";

How do I replace the substrings #name# and #company# with elements from variables?

For example if $name is "John" and $company is Microsoft, how can I produce the string User name is: John and user company is: Microsoft?

>Solution :

Change the array so that the keys include # around them. Then you can use this as the replacement argument with strtr().

$myArr = [
    ["#name#" => "John", "#company#" => "Microsoft"],
    ["#name#" => "Erica", "#company#" => "Apple"]
];

foreach ($myArr as $row) {
    $emptyHtml  .= strtr($htmlPattern, $row)
}
