defeated Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Can I use wildcards in str_replace eg. can $replacing=str_replace("<p style='text-align:center;'>","<p>","$anyoldhtml"); be written as $replacing=str_replace("<p*>","<p>","$anyoldhtml"); ?? I want to reformat a whole load of text from tinyMce that is causing problems with my page validations.... plus there is just too much code created by tinyMce.

nashruddin Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Use regular expression instead. <?php /* replace all <p ...> with <p> */ $new_string = preg_replace("/<p[^>]*>/", "<p>", $old_string); ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defeated Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 That's great. Thanks. What is regex? Is it part of php? Where is a good place to read up on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
