preg_replace help

[ozzy47]

Please be easy with me as I am new to this, so I will try to explain as best as I can.

 

In my php file I have used this:

	$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']= preg_replace(
                                            	$search[1] = '#(<li>|<li\s*class="selected">)*<a\s*class="navtab"\s*href="search\.php\?\'\s*\.\s*\$session\[\'sessionurl\'\]\s*\.\s*\'do=\w+&contenttype=\w+"\s*accesskey="\d">\'\s*\.\s*vB_Template_Runtime::parsePhrase\("\w*"\)\s*\.\s*\'</a>(</li>)*#i','',$vbulletin->templatecache['navbar']);

 

Which searches my output for these html codes:

<li  class="selected"><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post" accesskey="2">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a>

<li  class="selected"><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Post" accesskey="2">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a>

<li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post" accesskey="2">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li>

<li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Post" accesskey="2">{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li>

 

What that does is hide those four lines and works as intended.

 

Now what I want to do is with another option, search for those four codes, and have the output look like this:

<li  class="selected"><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post" accesskey="2"><img src="dbtech/vbnavtabs/images/whats_new_image/whats_new.png"  style="margin-bottom:.25em; vertical-align:middle;' . $image_padding . '" >{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a>

<li  class="selected"><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Post" accesskey="2"><img src="dbtech/vbnavtabs/images/whats_new_image/whats_new.png"  style="margin-bottom:.25em; vertical-align:middle;' . $image_padding . '" >{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a>

<li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post" accesskey="2"><img src="dbtech/vbnavtabs/images/whats_new_image/whats_new.png"  style="margin-bottom:.25em; vertical-align:middle;' . $image_padding . '" >{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li>

<li><a class="navtab" href="search.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=getdaily&contenttype=vBForum_Post" accesskey="2"><img src="dbtech/vbnavtabs/images/whats_new_image/whats_new.png"  style="margin-bottom:.25em; vertical-align:middle;' . $image_padding . '" >{vb:rawphrase getnew_tab}</a></li>

 

I have tried numerous ways, but can not get it to function, if someone could tell me the code I need to use as I am at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ozzy47,

 

If I have understood, you just want to insert an image tag in the other tags, is that right?

 

This expression does it for you.

 

The Match expression:

(<li[^>]*?><a[^>]*?>)({[^<]*?</a>)

 

The Replace expression:

\1<img src="dbtech/vbnavtabs/images/whats_new_image/whats_new.png"  style="margin-bottom:.25em; vertical-align:middle;' . $image_padding . '" >\2

 

A preg_repace that takes the $subject string as input:

$result = preg_replace('%(<li[^>]*?><a[^>]*?>)(\{[^<]*?</a>)%m', '\1<img src="dbtech/vbnavtabs/images/whats_new_image/whats_new.png"  style="margin-bottom:.25em; vertical-align:middle;\' . $image_padding . \'" >\2', $subject);

 

Is this what you were looking for? Your code boxes were pretty full so I may have misunderstood.

Wishing you a fun day
