johnslater Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I'm trying to get my head around preg_match or preg_replace because i need it for something i'm building. The problem is it is very confusing and i'm not sure my keyboard can take any more of my mental ranges. Basically i want to replace this... <img:image_name_here_etc:/img> with... crazy_image_function('image_name_here_etc'); So that all of the tags in the content (there may be more than one) will be replaced my the function which outputs optimised images. The function words like a charm, but i can't get my head around preg_replace or preg_match. Thanks.
