[SOLVED] Capital Letters error

[BlueSkyIS]

preg_replace() compares a pattern to a string and replaces that pattern with the provided replacement string. so you'll need to loop over the dis-allowed tags and use preg_replace, or build a crafty regular expression that does it in one shot. we'll stick to the easy version:

 

$bad_tags = array("<BR>","<UL>","<WHATEVER>");
foreach ($bad_tags AS $a_bad_tag) {
     $pattern = "/^$a_bad_tag$/i"; // or something similar, i'm not regex pro...
     preg_replace($pattern, "<nocode>", $string); // Where $string is the content
}
echo $string; // replaced string.

A pattern something like this:

preg_replace('(<br>|<ol>)','<bad>',$badcodes);

 

That will remove <br>, <Br>, <bR>, <BR> and <ol> (case insensitive) with <bad>

[BlueSkyIS]

don't we need /i in the pattern to denote case-insensitivity for preg_replace? examples here:

Probably yes, not on my usual machine and not got access to any of my source atm

Correct solution: str_ireplace (but I don't have PHP 5)

 

My solution: strtolower(); (Although there are other methods this was easiest)

[Yesideez]

Just note that if the input from the user has any capitals (like a name) then it'll be returned with all lower case.

[env3rt]

yea whatever, they aren't neccessary
