[SOLVED] How do i wrap <a> and </a> around an <img /> using regular expressions?

[obay]

for example, i want all

<img src="someImage" width="someValue" height="someValue" />

to become

<a>
<img src="someImage" width="someValue" height="someValue" />
</a>

i've tried:

preg_replace('/<img[^>]+>/', '<a> $1 <a>', '<img src="" width="" height="" >');

but it doesn't work.. LOL sorry im really new to this thing

 

any help?

Have a go at this one:

 

$str = '<img src="someImage" width="someValue" height="someValue" />';

$newStr = preg_replace("#(<img[^.]+>)#", "<a>\\1</a>", $str);
echo htmlentities($newStr);

wow thanks!!

 

how do i make this work for when there is more than one <img> in $str?

 

for example, if $str is

<img /> <img />

it yields

<a><img /> <img /></a>

instead of

<a><img /></a> <a><img /></a>
