RagingEagle Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Hi,I'm trying to use preg_replace to replace certain text in my website with the same text plus a link, I've got it to work but where my problem lies is if the text it finds is already in a link I don't want it to change that text. My current code:$originaltext = $array[$i];$pattern = '/Text To Find/';$replacement = '<a href="#">Text To Find</a>';$originaltextprepped = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $originaltext);So my question is how can I do what I want but at the same time NOT replace the text when it's already in a link?Thanks!

effigy Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Make sure the text isn't already in a tag: [tt]/(?<!>)Text To Find/[/tt] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
