Does PHP have a feature like Python's template strings?

Question

Python has a feature called template strings.

>>> from string import Template >>> s = Template('$who likes $what') >>> s.substitute(who='tim', what='kung pao') 'tim likes kung pao' 

I know that PHP allows you to write:

"Hello $person" 

and have $person substituted, but the templates can be reused in various sections of the code?

Answer 1

You could also use strtr:

$template = '$who likes $what';  $vars = array(   '$who' => 'tim',   '$what' => 'kung pao', );  echo strtr($template, $vars); 

Outputs:

tim likes kung pao
