how to detect texts before and after?

[jjk2]

<script type="text/javascript">

var so = new SWFObject('player.swf','mpl','535','422','9');

so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');

so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');

so.addParam('flashvars','file.xml');

so.write('player');

</script>

 

 

so how can i search for addParam, but automatically end up with the entire <script> </script> ?

 

so i search for addParam, and then automatically it looks up until it gets to <script>. and looks down, until it gets to </script>

I would do it a different way.  Search for all the script tags and then search within the script tags for addParam.

 

preg_match_all("/<script(.*)<\/script>/Uis", $somedata, $scriptarray);

foreach ($scriptarray[0] as $script) {

    if (strpos($script) === true) {

          echo "This script tag has addParam";

    }

}

yes i am awware of that....however poorly formed javascript causes clipping...it will not properly catch the java script tag ending...

 

this is why i am wondering how i can go about searching above and below a target string.
