Hi
How can I convert the regular expression: <p\s+style="padding-left:\s+(\d+)px;">(.*?)</p>into a pattern that PHP will accept? I am getting the error: Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Unknown modifier '(' in /Library/WebServer/Documents/tamagotchi/runtime/content/js/tiny_mce/examples/tinymce_regex.php on line 24 I am very new to regular expressions and any help is appreciated. Something to do with escaping certain strings? G $html =<<<EOB TinyMCE is a <span style="font-style: italic;">platform</span> <p style="text-align: center;">We recommend <a href="http://www.getfirefox.com" target="_blank">Firefox</a> </p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;">May the Regular Expression Find Me!</p> EOB; $pattern='<p\s+style="padding-left:\s+(\d+)px;">(.*?)</p>'; $replace= '<textformat indent=\\1>\\2</textformat>'; echo preg_replace($pattern,$replace, $html );
