[SOLVED] still having trouble with function

[jesushax]

hi heres my function

 

function paragraphs($data) {
strip_tags($data, "<p>");
if(substr($data, 0,3) == '<p>' && substr($data, -4) == '</p>') {
$data = substr($data, 3);
$data = substr($data, 0, -4);
}
$data = str_replace("<br /><br />","</p><p>",$data);
$data = str_replace("<br />","",$data);
$data = str_replace("<p>","</p><p>",$data);
$data = str_replace("</p></p><p>","</p><p>",$data);
$data = str_replace("</p><p></p><p>","</p><p>",$data);
return($data);
}

 

and

 

$Brief = paragraphs($_POST["txtBrief"]);

 

and the result is

 

<p class="MsoNormal"><span color="#000000">Vivergo Fuels Ltd is a new company created to build and operate a wheat to bioethanol production facility based at the BP site, Saltend, <place w:st="on" />East Yorkshire</place />. <p /></span></p><p /><p />

 

my form field is using a wysiwyg editor but that shouldnt affect the function that runs after the text is posted should it?

 

the striptags function is supposed to strip all but <p> tags how is it letting all that through?

 

CHeers

[jesushax]

just checking out the strip tags function

 

<?php
$data ='<p>testing <a href="dog">dig</a> <span>sausages</span></p><br /> doggy ';
strip_tags($data, "<p></p>");
echo $data;
?>

 

that should output :<p> testing dig sausages </p>doggy

 

it outputted: <p>testing <a href="dog">dig</a> <span>sausages</span></p><br /> doggy

 

this mean the strip_tags function doesnt work on my host?

 

Cheers

[zenag]

 u need to ...

echo strip_tags($data, "<p></p>");

[zenag]

echo strip_tags($data);

[jesushax]

echoing it works...

 

but i wont be able to use that function will as i want to remove the first and last <p> tags

 

i need a way to put the new echoed data into a variable so i can strip those first and last tags

 

any ideas?

[zenag]

<?php
$data ='<p>testing <a href="dog">dig</a> <span>sausages</span></p><br /> doggy ';
$dat=strip_tags($data);
echo $dat;
?>
$dat=strip_tags($data, "<p></p>"); is used to allow <p></p> tags 

[jesushax]

yes i want the <p> tags in it

 

for example

 

i want:

 

<p>text, <br />text,<span> text</p><p>text, <a href>text, text</p>

 

to become

 

text, text, text</p><p>text, text, text

 

i want to remove all html apart from the <p></p> tags then take out the first <p> and last </p>

 

i cant echo it too cos i want to insert it into db

[zenag]

<?php
$data ='<p>text,
text,<span> text</p><p>text, <a href>text</a>, text</p> ';
$dat=strip_tags($data,'<p>');
echo $dat;
?>

it will output

text, text, text

 

text, text, text

[jesushax]

ive managed to figure it out now i just needed the order changing

 

function paragraphs($data) {
if(substr($data, 0,3) == '<p>') {
$data = substr($data, 3);}
if(substr($data, -4) == '</p>'){
$data = substr($data, 0, -4);}

$data = str_replace("<p>","</p><p>",$data);

echo strip_tags($data, "<p></p>");
}

 

this works but how can i now get the value you into variable to post to datbase i cant echo to put into a db can i

[zenag]

its the sample code i ve written....is tis ur looking for???

<?
class gan{
function paragraphs($data) {
if(substr($data, 0,3) == '<p>') {
$data = substr($data, 3);}
if(substr($data, -4) == '</p>'){
$data = substr($data, 0, -4);}

$data = str_replace("<p>","</p><p>",$data);

$dat=strip_tags($data, "<p></p>");
return $dat;
}

}

$hai='<p>text,
text,<span> text</p><p>text, <a href>text</a>, text</p> ';
$gan=new gan();
$jai=$gan->paragraphs($hai);
echo $jai;

?>

[jesushax]

tried putting your code into practice

 

got this error

Catchable fatal error: Object of class gan could not be converted to string in /home/fhlinux153/c/cwservicesltd.co.uk/user/htdocs/admin/portfolio/edit_project.php on line 175

 

this is my 175

$SQL = $SQL."ClientCase='$Case', ClientResult='$Result', ClientBrief='$Brief', ClientServices='$Services',  ClientCommentsTitle='$CommentsTitle', ClientComments='$Comments', PortDateEdited='$Date' WHERE PortID='$PortID' ";

[zenag]

i got it working with this code ....im my database i can able to insert the values text,text,......

class gan{
function paragraphs($data) {
if(substr($data, 0,3) == '<p>') {
$data = substr($data, 3);}
if(substr($data, -4) == '</p>'){
$data = substr($data, 0, -4);}

$data = str_replace("<p>","</p><p>",$data);

$dat=strip_tags($data, "<p></p>");
return $dat;
}

}

$hai='<p>text,
text,<span> text</p><p>text, <a href>text</a>, text</p> ';
$gan=new gan();
$jai=$gan->paragraphs($hai);

$jais= trim ($jai);
$sql=mysql_query("insert into tablename(fieldname)values('$jais')");

[jesushax]

how is your sql structured?

[zenag]

CREATE TABLE `user` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `nickname` varchar(50) default NULL,
  `password` varchar(50) default NULL,
  `status` text,
  `created_at` datetime default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=15 ;

[jesushax]

not your table your sql

 

my sql is

 

$SQL = "UPDATE tblPortfolio Set PortType='$Type', ClientCompany='$Company', ProjectTitle='$ProjectTitle', ClientName='$Name', ClientUrl='$URL', ClientLocation='$Location', ";

 

if (!empty($Logo)) {

$SQL = $SQL."ClientLogo='$Logo', ";

}

 

$SQL = $SQL."ClientCase='$Case', ClientResult='$Result', ClientBrief='$Brief', ClientServices='$Services',  ClientCommentsTitle='$CommentsTitle', ClientComments='$Comments', PortDateEdited='$Date' WHERE PortID='$PortID' ";

 

and i get

 

Catchable fatal error: Object of class gan could not be converted to string in /home/fhlinux153/c/cwservicesltd.co.uk/user/htdocs/admin/portfolio/edit_project.php on line 175

my bad i structured it wrong, its uploading now still not doing what i want it to do, but i might be able to figure the rest out

 

cheeers

[jesushax]

right my last stage is to remove classes from it

 

at the mo the wysiwyg editor uploads these

 

<p class="MsoNormal">

 

i need to change

 

<p class="MsoNormal">

 

to

 

<p>

 

and the class name may be differnet to "MsoNormal"

 

i think i know how its done but dont know how to do it

 

CHeers

[zenag]

change these line of code:

$Result = $gan=new gan();
$jai=$gan->paragraphs($_POST["txtResult"]);

To:

$gan=new gan();
$Case=$gan->paragraphs($_POST["txtCase"]); and so on........

[jesushax]

yes i saw that and fixed it, thanks

 

im trying to do something else now, as above ^ do you know how i can do such a thing?

 

such as

 

$data = str_replace('<p class=" anything in here ">',"<p>",$data);

 

thanks
