[SOLVED] PHP search string and if <ul> is in string insert </p> before <ul>

[woocha]

Hi guys,

 

  I have a script that pulls info from a db and I need to determine if the db field contains ul for this I used:

if(strstr($row['body'],ul)){}

but now I need to know how to insert </p> before the ul is read from the db.  I am doing this so that the page validates.  I DO NOT want to alter the db field.  I just want to change the string before it is displayed to the browser.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

thanks guys and gals

maybe something like...

 

$new_body = str_replace('<ul>','</p><ul>',$row['body']);
[code]

[/code]
