[SOLVED] how to replace email address to a specified string...

[noister]

hi to all,

 

i want to make a function that replace found email address to a specified string...

 

which something like this...

 

function find_replace_email($string,$replace='[email protected]'){

 

// please help code here....

 

return $string;

 

}

 

 

echo find_replace_email("This is my [email protected]");

 

// which should display similar to: This is my [email protected]

 

 

My goal is to hide all emailaddress entered by the users...

 

 

Any help really appreciated.

<?php 
echo str_replace($string,$replace);
?>

 

you just gotta find the string using regex, or substr(), or str_pos() or a combination of them.

ok got it...

 

function find_replace_email($str)

{

$emails = array();

preg_match_all("/\b\w+\@\w+[\.\w+]+\b/", $str, $output);

foreach($output[0] as $email) array_push ($emails, strtolower($email));

if (count ($emails) >= 1){

return str_replace($emails,"[email protected]",$str);

}

else return $str;

}

 

# Sample string containing email addresses;

$str = "test [email protected] ha ha [email protected] bla bla [email protected]";

 

echo find_replace_email($str);
