[SOLVED] Reg Expression and/or Preg replace?

[frost]

$Text = preg_replace("/\[code\](.+?)\[\/code\]/is","$CodeLayout", $Text);

 

I am pretty sure the above code is from phpbb and is used as the code tag, similar to the forums here on php freaks.

 

In this example everything between the opening and closing "code" tags are replaced by the $codelayout variable.

 

I am wondering if there is a similar thing that will replace all of the < and > tags with < and >

 

Any help would be much appreciated, my reg expression knowledge is nil

You could simply use htmlspecialchars.

I need to target in between the code tags specifically.

Use the /e modifier:

 

$Text = preg_replace("/\[code\](.+?)\[\/code\]/ise",'htmlspecialchars("$1")', $Text);

You sir, are a scholar and a gentleman.

 

So now I have this:

 

$Text = '+code+<a href="test.php">test</a>+/code+';

$Text = preg_replace("/\[code\](.+?)\[\/code\]/ise",'htmlspecialchars("$1")', $Text);

echo $Text;

 

Which outputs: <a href="test.php">test</a>

 

Which is exactly what I needed. Cheers!

 

Edit: replaced [ and ] with + in my example so the forum would let it show.
