gerkintrigg Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Hi, I'd like to work out how to find out if some text is within an open tag. So: $string='<span class="my_class">this text will be ignored</span> this text will be recognised'; #now find "this text" #this code is wrong: preg_replace('~this text~','~<span class="next_class">this text</span>~',$string); echo $string; I think I need a pattern like: ~(^<(.*?)>(.*?))unless</span>this text but the correct syntax is escaping me and i can't find any specific help on the internet. Anyone!? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/187125-find-if-text-is-within-an-open-link/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
