corrupshun Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I do not understand it. Whenever something is going to be replaced it looks like complete crap... Can someone explain what this means and explain how you deciphered it? <?php preg_replace("/(<\/?)(\w+)([^>]*>)/e", "'\\1'.strtoupper('\\2').'\\3'", $html_body); ?> That is some random code I found on a tutorial for this.. I cannot read it.. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadTechie Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 The RegEx converts the html tags to upper case. for example <?php $html_body = "<body><P>Hello World</P></body>"; $html_body = preg_replace("/(<\/?)(\w+)([^>]*>)/e", "'\\1'.strtoupper('\\2').'\\3'", $html_body); echo $html_body; ?> returns <BODY><P>Hello World</P></BODY> note that body becomes BODY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
