note 75858 added to function.str-replace

bate2web: you can better use substr or preg match, I guess! <?php function make_valid_url($site) { if(substr($site, 7) != 'http://' AND substr($site, 8) != 'https://') { return 'http://'.$site; } } ?> however, str_replace is helpfull to create some links behind keywords in a blog. I wrote this script for my blog (at http://www.gdx.be/, it's in dutch!): <?php $search = array(); $replace = array(); $query = $mysql->query("SELECT string,link FROM blog_replace WHERE active='1'"); while ($links = mysql_fetch_object($query)) { // lets build 2 arrays, one for the search pattern, and one for the replacement! $search[] = ' '.$links->string; // yes, with a space! We do not want links with another link in it! (or just words with half a link behind it!) $replace[] = ' <a href="'.$links->link.'" target="_blank" class="bloglink">'.$links->string.'</a>'; } // usage: // $blogmessage = str_replace($search, $replace, $blogmessage); ?> ---- Server IP: 193.190.198.20 Probable Submitter: 87.64.113.21 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/75858 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75858/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75858/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75858/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75858/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75858/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75858/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75858 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/75858 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
