Took your advice, looked into using preg_replace solely. $search = '#(?:youtube(?:-nocookie)?\.com/(?:[^/]+/.+/|(?:v|e(?:mbed)?)/|.*[?&]v=)|youtu\.be/)([^"&?/ ]{11})#x'; $replace = '<center><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/\\1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center>'; $embed = preg_replace($search, $replace, $embed ); Figured I'd post the above in case any other noobs came by with a similar misunderstanding of how to get it working properly. Cheers!

Ok, that's what I figured might be the case, but when I tried doing preg_match_all(), I must not have done it correctly with a loop to return the arrays from it. Instead of moving to the next line of text (or potential psuedo code) it would simply return all values of the youtube instances immediately within the function, so it wouldn't be in the order he typed it in. I'll see what I can come up with with preg_replace itself as suggested after I do more research. Thank you for your time thus far.

Hello, I'm new to preg_match & preg_match functions. I'm trying to get my brother to post link within a [pseudo BB code tag], which would then embed itself. I don't want him being able to copy and paste codes blindly. Here is the current regex: function BlogCode($blogcode) { if( !strstr($blogcode, '[') ) { return $blogcode; } // Soundcloud if (preg_match('%(?:soundcloud.com)/(?:tracks/)([0-9]+)%i', $blogcode, $match)) { $track_id = $match[1]; $blogcode = preg_replace("~\\[video]([^\\[]*)\\[/video\\]~i","<br /><center><iframe width='100%' height='166' scrolling='no' frameborder='no' src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/$track_id'></iframe></center><br /><br />",$blogcode); } // Youtube if (preg_match('%(?:youtube(?:-nocookie)?\.com/(?:[^/]+/.+/|(?:v|e(?:mbed)?)/|.*[?&]v=)|youtu\.be/)([^"&?/ ]{11})%i', $blogcode, $match)) { $video_id = $match[1]; $blogcode = preg_replace("~\\[video]([^\\[]*)\\[/video\\]~i","<br /><center><object width='640' height='390'><param name='movie' value='https://www.youtube.com/v/".$video_id."?version=3&autoplay=0'></param><param name='allowScriptAccess' value='always'></param><embed src='https://www.youtube.com/v/".$video_id."?version=3&autoplay=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowscriptaccess='always' width='640' height='390'></embed></object></center>",$blogcode); } return $blogcode; } My issue is when he is using multiple tags, as it will only initialize the $video_id variable the first time around, as it displays the same video instead of individual youtubeID's What am I doing wrong here? I'm sure it's something goofy, but this is my first time trying to do something like this. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help guys, you got me in the right direction.

Sorry, it was late last night. I meant it expands my container. Before without the menu.css it was 990px wide, now nothing is adhering to the container. Here is a screen shot when zoomed out (Before it worked fine, now with the nav bar it's all screwy, but I can't figure out how to fix the css):

Sorry about that guys.. Thank you very much for the quick replies though, already I feel like I'll get through this issue. <div id="container"> <ul id="menu"> <li><a href="main.php">Home</a></li> <li class="menu_right"><a href="profile.php" class="drop">My Check List</a> <div class="dropdown_1column align_right"> <div class="col_1"> <ul class="simple"> <li><a href="add-goal.php">Add a Goal</a></li> <li><a href="profile.php">My Profile</a></li> <li><a href="edit-profile.php">Edit Profile</a></li> <li><a href="settings.php">Account Settings</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </li> <li class="menu_right"><a href="activity.php">Member Activity</a></li> <li class="menu_right"><a href="about.php" class="drop">About</a> <div class="dropdown_1column align_right"> <div class="col_1"> <ul class="simple"> <li><a href="about.php">About Us</a></li> <li><a href="contact.php">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="faq.php">FAQ</a></li> <li><a href="terms.php">Terms & Conditions</a></li> <li><a href="privacy.php">Privacy Statement</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </li> </ul> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <tr> <td><div id="contentbox">content</div></td> <td><div id="contentbox">content</div></td> </tr> </table> </div>

The organized inline list is extending past my container. I've gotten this far to trouble shoot it, but have no clue how to fix this css. Any direction would be appreciated, I thought it was a padding issue from everything I've read, but I couldn't figure out how to fix this.

Well I figured out what was wrong for one part as to why it wasn't populating the ID or username and now I get a new error: "Insert Error: Unknown column 'goal1' in 'field list'" <? error_reporting(ALL); session_start(); if (!(isset($_SESSION['login']) && $_SESSION['login'] != '')) { header ("Location: index.php"); } $username = $_SESSION['username']; require("connect.php"); if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { $result = mysql_query(" SELECT * from login WHERE username = '$username' ") or die(mysql_error()); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result); $ID = $row['ID']; $NumGoals = $row['NumGoals']; $NumGoals++; $newgoal = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlspecialchars($_POST['newgoal'])); $newgoalid = "goal"; $newgoalid .= $NumGoals; $newgoaldate = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlspecialchars($_POST['goaldate'])); // Verify if last column name already exists in table $fields = mysql_list_fields('doofyd5_checkbucket', 'goals'); $columns = mysql_num_fields($fields); for ($i = 0; $i < $columns; $i++) {$field_array[] = mysql_field_name($fields, $i);} if (!in_array('$newgoalid', '$newgoaldate', $field_array)) { // IF non-existant column ALTER table to add goal columns if (empty($field_array)) { $result = mysql_db_query("ALTER TABLE 'goals' ADD `".$newgoalid."` TEXT NOT NULL, ADD '".$newgoaldate."'

This will be a stupid\easy one, but I'm just too new to decypher what this mysql error is referring to. Any assistance at all would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I like starting fires.

I've donated $5 bucks for your time (sorry I'm broke or I'd have given more). Cheers, Chris

Thanks for the solution and the advice about escaping\specialchars, I was playing it safe, but upon reflection of your advice, it makes zero sense to validate it as you've mentioned. Cheers, Chris

It's doing everything correctly, other than only allowing Reaction="AWESOME" increase in the mysql db. Any ideas on this, I thought it was straight forward, but it's illuding my eyes and probably right in front of me. Any direction would be appreciated extremely much. <? error_reporting (E_ALL); // Db Connection xxx // Get the Reaction $Reaction = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlspecialchars($_GET['Reaction'])); // Get IP $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; // Append IP to current column $Used_IPs = ''; $Used_IPs .= $ip .
