Hi all
i have text in database with the following stuff > and < and stuff like that .
well guests enter text that is saved to the database , and when it is printed out i don't want it to be parsed so converting all HTML entities to > and < is enough .
BUT
i want to allow some HTML tags to be converted back to normal
like <font size=4>text</font>
so i wrote the following regex where
$alowed_ones='font|b|center|i|a';
$data=preg_replace('/(<)('.$alowed_ones.')((\s)(.*))?(>)(.*)(<\/)('.$alowed_ones.')(>)/ims' ,
'<\\2\\3>\\7</\\9>',
$data,-1);
but for example if i $data was
<center><a href="fF">Xx"</a></center>
only the <center></center> is back to normal and the <a> tag is not parsed unless i run the preg_replace again !!!
any way to do it without having to call it back ???
plz help
