string parsing in between curly bracket

k, in that case you need to work out some logic on your key:values pairs. For example: is this only for the items table? do you want the solution to be more flexible for potential later use? etc.

as is you'll need to do the following:

1) preg_replace_callback() on the string for {whatever}
2) call a library function that will parse the finds
3) that function will probably explode them and call a function $key($value)
4) magic
