str_replace trouble

[n00bert]

I have never had to use this function so it's all news to me..But could you tell me what I have wrong in this string of code?

 

<?php str_replace("<a href=","<a href=http://".$server."/".$server."/", include("http://".$server."/".$server."/pbsvss.htm")); ?>

I'm not sure whether or not include can be used within the function, but you have to assign the returned value to a variable:

 

<?php

$str = str_replace("<a href=","<a href=http://".$server."/".$server."/", include("http://".$server."/".$server."/pbsvss.htm"));

?>

str_replace takes strings as parameters, not functions!

 

$string = "abc.php";
$string = str_replace("a","x", $string);
// will include xbc.php
include($string);

I don't think that's quite what he's trying to do. I think he's trying to append a full URL to all the links included from 'pbsvss.htm'..

yeah, that's what i'm trying to do..

I just thought about it too and i'm gonna have to figure out how to open the file and read it first..Am I right?

[Adam]

I'd say so.. Very simple though:

 

<?php

$str = file_get_contents("http://".$server."/".$server."/pbsvss.htm");
$str = str_replace("<a href=","<a href=http://".$server."/".$server."/", include("http://".$server."/".$server."/pbsvss.htm"));

?>

yeah, I just figured it out but thanks guys..

 

here is what I used for those who are interested or have the same problem.

 

<?php
$pbsvss = fopen("http://".$server."/".$server."/pbsvss.htm", "r");
$contents = stream_get_contents($pbsvss);
fclose($pbsvss);
$string = str_replace("<a href=","<a href=http://".$server."/".$server."/", $contents);
echo $string;
?>

[JonnoTheDev]

Better. This is incorrect Adam

$str = file_get_contents("http://".$server."/".$server."/pbsvss.htm");
$str = str_replace("<a href=","<a href=http://".$server."/".$server."/", include("http://".$server."/".$server."/pbsvss.htm"));

 

Include within function will not work

 

Should be

$str = file_get_contents("http://".$server."/".$server."/pbsvss.htm");
$str = str_replace("<a href=","<a href=http://".$server."/".$server."/", $str);

[Adam]

Ah yeah! My mistake!
