What's the best way to parse django style template tags in PHP? I know there are plenty of templating libraries for PHP, but I literally just need to parse one tag when I retrieve data from my database.
The style of tag I want to parse looks like {{ form | form_name }}
REGEX is the way to go.
\{\{ *form *\| *(\S+) *\}\}
should do the trick nicely.
A bit of explaining:
\{ and \} will each match { and } respectively.* will match for 0 to infinite space characters ((\S+) will match for 1 to infinite non-space characters (a, B, 3, _ etc).
