play_ Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Okay. This may be hard to explain, expecially at 7am with no sleep. I have a comments section on this site, where users can quote other users. i'm using bbcode for this, so something would ideally be replaced with <blockquote>username said: something </blockquote> What I have now is this [/code] $str = " "; $m = preg_replace("/\ [^\]]{1' date='}\']/", "<blockquote>", $str); [/code] This returns $m as into <blockquote>. Question: How can i extract username (in this case, play) out of that string? if it possible to insert the match into the replacement? example: $m = preg_match("/\ [^\]]{1' date='}\']/", "<blockquote>insert 'play' here", $str); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/172110-solved-extracting-word-out-of-a-string/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
