php - validate sms template using preg_match

I want to validate content against the pattern. The pattern has got multiple variable. Each variable is of 30 characters. To increase the length of the variable we repeat{#var#} multiple times.preg_match helped me when both content and pattern were static strings. Now, I am facing difficulty when I try to pass the dynamic content.

content = Dear customer, your otp is e9(3>D5. Thanks

pattern = Dear customer, your otp is {#var#}. Thanks
Copy code

This is the code I tried with, but no success when added variables. Looking for only php or javascript code

$content = '#Dear customer, your otp is e9(3>D5. Thanks#';
$pattern = '#Dear customer, your otp is <input type="text" id="otp" name="otp" value="" maxlength="30">. Thanks#';

echo preg_match($pattern, $content); 
Copy code

thanks in advance
