MidOhioIT Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 The issue.. We are developing an html newsletter. The client is creating an entire Html page as shown below. A requirement for the newsletter is to provide an opt out list link at the bottom of the newsletter when it goes out. We provided a form with text area where they put in this html code and we capture it in a variable and then just make it the body of the newsletter email. The issue is since they are ending their html code the proper way: </body> </html> I can not just append any links to the end of it i dont believe. I was tring to find a way to just replace the end tags with "" and would append what i needed and then just add them back in. I cant do that becasue they are doing more instances of </html> tags then just the last one. is there a way to just strip it off the end? here is the full html code that is being sent through the form: <html> <head> <title>Spring Getaways</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></head> </html> <html> <head> </head> <body bgcolor="#FCFBE2" link="#000099" vlink="#3366CC" background-repeat: repeat-x;> <table width="600" border="1" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#FFFFFF"> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"><img src="../graphics/e_heading_spring10.jpg" alt="Spring Specials email header graphic" width="620" height="157"></td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"><table width="100%" align="center" cellpadding="8" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <tr> <td height="50" colspan="3" align="left" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8"> <tr> <td colspan="2" align="left" valign="top"><table width="175" border="0" align="right" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td> </td> <td width="150"><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><img src="../graphics/family_cutout.jpg" alt="Photo of a family in front of the lodge" width="150" height="132" border="1" align="right"></strong></font></td> </tr> </table> <p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Spring Getaways at Resort</strong></font><br> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Enjoy overnight accommodations at the 271-room <a href="http://www.website.com/lodge.htm">Wilson Lodge</a></font> </p> <table width="50" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td width="20"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/Resortresort" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.website.com/graphics/facebook_16.png" alt="Link to Facebook page" width="16" height="16" border="0" align="left"></a></td> <td width="20"><a href="http://twitter.com/ResortResort" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.website.com/graphics/twitter_16.png" alt="Link to Twitter page." width="16" height="16" border="0" align="left"></a></td> </tr> </table> <p><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><font size="2">NEW!

teamatomic Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 $link .= '</body>'; $new_body=str_replace('</body>', $link,$body); HTH Teamatomic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidOhioIT Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 I dont think this is helping... 1) all i need to do looking at the html is strip the final tags: </body></html> 2) and then put some links in like <a href="http://www.website.com>Click here</a> 3) Put the tags back so now the links are in the body: <a href="http://www.website.com>Click here</a> </body> </html> Here is how the code is getting the html from the text area now...: $newsletter_body = $_SESSION["newsletter_body"]; inside the variable newsletter_body is the entire html code i posted, so now i need to strip only the last 2 tags so i can put my links in it and then put them back. I hope this makes sence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamatomic Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Yes it does what you want. it takes the link and puts the close body tag after it. It then replaces the close body tag in the body with the link/tag combo. You will of course have to substitute $newsletter_body for the $body I show then use the $new_body(or what ever you want to rename it to) in the newsletter.
