So basically I do something like: $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->loadHTML($file); $p = $doc->getElementsByTagName('p'); How would then wrap the following around each <p> tag: <form name="form" target="_parent" action="/index.php?action=edit_paragraph&file='.$_GET['file'].'" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="old_html" value="'.htmlentities($matches[0]).'"> <p><a href="javascript:;" onclick="document.form.submit();">'.$matches[1].'</a></p> </form> BTW if its not obvious I am trying to create a CMS that lets users edit anything within a <p> tag!
