HuggieBear Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 This almost works...[code=php:0]<?php// Test html code$html = <<<HTML<HTML><HEAD><TiTlE>This is My Title</TITlE><body BG="Red"> This is Some Text</body></HtML>HTML;// Regular expressionecho preg_replace("/(<.*?>)/e", "''.strtolower('$1').''", $html);?>[/code] The problem is that it escapes all the single and double quotes in the output. Here's what it produces...[code]<html><head><title>This is My Title</title><body bg=\"red\"> This is Some Text</body></html>[/code]But it's a start.RegardsHuggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obsidian Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Huggie, you've got to be careful with your solution, because it will also change any attribute values to lowercase, and when you're referencing a URL, javascript function or a class/id for CSS, case sensitivity is in play. It's a great start, but you'll want to parse a bit further and make sure that nothing within single or double quotes is changed as well.

HuggieBear Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Good point Obs, didn't think of that.This will need a little more thought I think.Huggie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch0r Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 why don't you just open the code in notepad, and find/replace any instances of the tags you want lowercase with the match case option on?Unless the code is not saved locally/user inputted online (?)

taith Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 next question... html is non case specific, and if you just set your css/js to all lowercase too, who cares? or make the css/js seperate variables... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 [quote author=taith link=topic=118504.msg486148#msg486148 date=1166281972]next question... html is non case specific, and if you just set your css/js to all lowercase too, who cares? or make the css/js seperate variables...[/quote]Because all lowercase in coding is very seldom best practice. When defining functions or other attributes of coding languages, there are often cases where camel-case (ie, myFunction) is the best practice. So, you never want to throw best practices out the window to work around a problem. You're much better off to find a solution that will work in conjunction with the best practices you have put in place. As for your comment about making the CSS and Javascript separate variables, I'm not sure I follow what you're after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
