Re: preg_replace help!

Wait, its a different thing now. You see, I am trying to replace phpbb's
bbcode with working html code, but what makes it hard is that phpbb inserts
a number after SOME of the bbcode tags. Here is what I have so far:
function bbcodereplace($subject){
$search = array ("/\[url=(\W?)(.*?)(\W?)\](.*?)\[\/url\]/",
// "/\[i(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/i(.*?)\]/", // Italics
"/\[u(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/u(.*?)\]/", // Underline
"/\[img(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/img(.*?)\]/", // Image
"/\[b(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/b(.*?)\]/"); // Bold
// '@&(gt|#62);@i',
// '@&(nbsp|#160);@i',
// '@&(iexcl|#161);@i',
// '@&(cent|#162);@i',
// '@&(pound|#163);@i',
// '@&(copy|#169);@i',
// '@&#(\d+);@e'); // evaluate as php

$replace = array ('',
// '$2',
'$2',
'',
'$2');
// '',
// '',
// '',
// '');
// '>',
// ' ',
// chr(161),
// chr(162),
// chr(163),
// chr(169),
// 'chr(\1)');

return preg_replace($search, $replace, $subject);
}

my problem is that if I un-comment the italic thing, then image doesn't
work. any idea on how to fix it?

Re: preg_replace help!

nevermind, I got it fixed. Just had to rearrange it. it was sensing the i in
img as italic so if you put it first it would work.

Re: preg_replace help!

Ok, scratch that, new problem. what can I replace (.*?) with in order for
php to recognise a multi-line quote/bold/italic/code/whatever?

By default the "." pattern matches anything except a line break you can
either use ((?:.|\n)*) or add a modifier to the regular expression that
changes the behaviour of the "." pattern. Modifiers are appended at the end
of the regular expression, after the closing delimiter:

/\[i:(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/i:(.*?)\]/s


The "s" modifier tells the regular expression to captura any character with
an "." pattern. With only this you should be able to captura multiline tags=
..


Also you should consider using the "U" modifier which makes all repetition
patters (*,+) ungreedy. This way you can avoid using the "?" after

Sorry, las message wasn't send properly (gmail isn't working right anymore
