You are probably looking for a template engine like <http://www.smarty.net/> 
then.

There is no built-in expand() function in PHP.  fgets() reads files line by 
line; HTML converts whitespace outside of attribute values to one space – 
not what you want.  Regular expressions are used for pattern matching; I do 
not see how they would be applicable here.

Depends on what you *really* want to do.
