Hi Group,

At the moment I am developing a app that uses templates.
In the templates I have placeholders like this:

Dear ***FIRSTNAME***<br>
You have subscribed to ***LISTSUBSRIBE***.
etc

The ***XXXX*** must be replaced with values created in my script.

I am a bit worried about the speed and wonder which approach will be
fastest.
A straightforward solution would be to run a
str_replace($arrSearch,$arrReplace), where
$arrSearch contains the strings to be replaced by the corresponding values
in $arrReplace.

Is this a fast solution?
Will a regexpression approach be faster?

Does anybody have experience with this or advise?
Or should I just try a few and benchmark it?

TIA!

Regards,
Erwin Moller
