I need a simple function that takes a string and formats
with a generic mask. Like this example above:
$string1 = 12345678
$string2 = 11062003
echo format_string (#.###.###-#, $string1); // -- Returns 1.234.567-8
echo format_string (##/##/, $string1); // -- Returns 11/06/2003
Does anybody here have an idea to how to do this?
Here is a function that does what you want, with
a test stand. HTH!
?php
function format_string($mask, $contents, $ch = '#') {
$c = 0;
$str = ;
for($m = 0; $m strlen($mask); $m++)
if ($mask[$m] == $ch) {
$str .= $contents[$c];
$c++;
}
else
$str .= $mask[$m];
return($str);
}
?

form action=mask.php method=get
Mask: input type=text name=mask value=?php echo
$_GET['mask']; ?/br/
Content: input type=text name=cont value=?php echo
$_GET['cont']; ?/br/
Maskchar: input type=text name=ch value=?php echo
$_GET['ch']; ?/br/
input type=submit
/form
bResult:/b ?php echo format_string($_GET['mask'], $_GET['cont'],
$_GET['ch']); ?br/
