{PHP} Regular expressions trouble

Alex. · 05-27-2007, 12:19 PM

BUMP WILL GIVE 20NP FOR QUICK ANSWER,
Can anyone tell me what the POSIX expression for any character is?
I'm trying

Code:

$data = ereg_replace('<b([^.]+)>','',$data);

But that gives me:

Quote:

Fixed a bug that disconnected some....

Instead of:

Code:

Code:

Bug Fixes

Code:

<ul class="bullet-list"><li>Fixed a bug that disconnected some....

All I need is an expression that will grab any character.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/332604-php-regular-expressions-trouble.html

So I could ask it to parse

Code:

<b class="subhead">Bug Fixes[/b]<ul class="bullet-list"><li>Fixed a bug that di

into

Quote:

Bug Fixes[list][*]Fixed a bug that di

Thanks

Alex

Hi,
I'm trying to make something that will parse html to bbcode.
This is my test code atm:

Code:

<?php
function myparse($data){
$data = htmlspecialchars_decode($data);
$data = eregi_replace('<a href="(([[:alpha:]]+://[^<>[:space:]]+[[:alnum:]/]))">','[url=\\0]',$data);
$data = htmlspecialchars($data);
return $data;

}
echo myparse('<a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/movies/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070527/ap_en_mo/france_cannes_awards">');
?>

Now this just prints

Code:

[url=<a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/movies/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070527/ap_en_mo/france_cannes_awards">]

I'd like it to print:
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=332604

Code:

[url=http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/movies/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070527/ap_en_mo/france_cannes_awards]

Help is appreciated

Thanks
Alex

You had a mistake in that the result within the brackets was 2nd in the array so had an index of 1 (arrays are zero based). Also I notice you had the main part of the regular expression in 2 sets of brackets which made no difference to the outcome so I removed 1 set.

PHP Code:

  <?php

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=332604
function myparse($data){

$data = htmlspecialchars_decode($data);

$data = eregi_replace('<a href="([[:alpha:]]+://[^<>[:space:]]+[[:alnum:]/])">','[url=\\1]',$data);

$data = htmlspecialchars($data);

return $data;

 
}

echo myparse('<a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/movies/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070527/ap_en_mo/france_cannes_awards">');

?>

Thanks Pete,
I would give you rep but it doesn't like me giving you it

I'm having another little problem as well now with an image function:

Code:

$data = eregi_replace('<img src="(([[:alpha:]]+://[^<>[:space:]]+[[:alnum:]/]))"([^\.]+)>','[img]\\1[/img]',$data);

Nothing is changing with the output.

Any ideas?

edit- also, whats the pattern for any number / type of character?
