Re: search/replace functions

Scott -- ..and then Scott Ware said... % % I'm new to the list, and I don't want this to sound like a stupid ?, but % I am having an issue with a function that I created. No problem! % % I have some code stored in a database, similar to XML-style tags, but I % just created them myself to be more "user-friendly" to people. % Like for instance <bold></bold>, and <red></red> (would make the text % red). Nice of you :-) % % I created a function, to search on the tags that I made, and replace % them with the appropriate HTML ones, here is my function: [snip] Why, that looks almost exactly an example in the preg_replace() section of the manual :-) Have a read again. % for($i = 0; $i <= 31; $i++) % { % eregi_replace($search[$i], $replace[$i], $content); % } % % return $content; % } Try something like $content = preg_replace($search,$replace,$content) ; and enjoy. % .. % "$row_mysql_table['content']" output. Am I on the right track? And if % not, can anyone tell me how to accomplish this? The right track, I think, but don't bother with the loop. % % Thanks!
