Match string and get PHP variable

I would like to be able to use this string to retrieve a specific piece of data from database '{my-id-1}', so basically if found in the text '{my-id- *}' then enter id (for example if {is-id-1} then ID is 1) and then I can run some code with that id.

So I have this, so I can get the ID from the curly braces, but I'm not sure how to replace it in the text.

<?php
$text = "test 1 dfhjsdh sdjkfhksdhfkj skjh {is-id-1} sdfhskdfh sdfsdjfhksd fjksdfhksd {is-id-2}";
preg_match_all('/{is-id-+(.*?)}/',$text, $matches);
print_r ($matches);

$replacewiththis = "this has been replaced, it was id: " . $idhere;
$text = preg_replace('/{is-id-+(.*?)}/', $replacewiththis, $text);

echo $text;
?>

Array for matched outputs:

Array ( 
  [0] => Array ( 
    [0] => {is-id-1} 
    [1] => {is-id-2} 
  ) 
  [1] => Array ( 
    [0] => 1 
    [1] => 2 
  ) 
)

I am stuck now and not sure how to handle each shape. Can someone give me a hand?

Thank.

I'm not sure if I understood well what you want, but I think it is:



foreach($matches[1] as $match){
  $replacewiththis = "this has been replaced, it was id: $match";
  $text=str_replace('{is-id-'.$match.'}', $replacewiththis, $text);
}
echo $text;
