Replace all between a string - maybe use wildcards??

[mds1256]

Hello

 

I have a form that takes an input, i want to replace 2 parts within the string see example

 

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fT7rCWZvsD8?fs=1&hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fT7rCWZvsD8?fs=1&hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

 

This is just an example but i want to replace all occurances of width="****" and height="***"

 

with

 

width="300"

height="198"

 

but the width and height are not always the same from the source so need a way to pickup - height="385"    then replace what ever is after that first speech mark and the last speech mark

 

Any ideas?

I'm confused, you want a user to be able to choose the width and height of the embedded player? If so you can easily perform a preg_replace of height="xxx" with the users defined input, the same with the width.

After reading this more carefully, I've realized a couple of things, if it is what I posted first you could do a preg_replace with a pattern of:

/width="\d{3}"/

 

However if you're looking to just replace what's between the object tags, you may be looking for something such as the following:

It would have to be modified slightly since you aren't just looking for things in between <object> and </object> but rather an object tag with attributes.

 

Hope this helped.

do you have an example of the preg_replace method, as i've just tried this with no luck, cannot seem to get the syntax correct with the example you have provided?

 

Thanks again
