Hello to all,

I am looking for solution about a placeholder in an article. I would like to insert dynamic a names or address in a GDPR agreement.
Have anyone idea how can do it. For example see below.

Textfield : #placeholder-name
Textbox : #placeholder-address
Field box : #placeholder-phonenumber

"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, #placeholder-name consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation. Duis aute irure dolor in #placeholder-address reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, #placeholder-phonenumber sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."

thank you in advance !

Hi petrogus, 

You could try something like this:

$str = "Hello #location# today is #weekday#!";
$str = replacePlaceholders($str);
print $str;
exit;

function replacePlaceholders($text) {

  $placeholders = [];
  $placeholders['location'] = "World"; 
  $placeholders['weekday']  = "Friday";
  
  foreach ($placeholders as $key => $value) {
    $text = str_replace("#$key#", $value, $text);
  }

  return $text;
}

Hope that helps!
