A little preg_replace help.

agasonex · 05-20-2006, 11:09 AM

Edit Nevermind, just exploded it into an array, is there a way to delete/close topics here?

Hi, I'm adding in the ability for users to quote other messages onto my forums. I've got it all working except for one little thing.
I'm trying to get it so the signature of the quoted message isn't shown in the quote.

The message and signature are seperated by "- - -" so an example would be.
"Users message etc etc...

- - -
Users signature"

How would I use would I just get the text that comes before the "- - -"?(I think it would be preg_replace, but I'm not sure.)

Thanks for any help.

in all honesty I think it is better practice to not store the signature with the post. Instead have that in the users table and pull it along with the user and post details.

The way you have it at the moment if someone changes their signature then the old 1 will still display in old messages. (I am presuming you are making your own forum style system)
