probem with pregreplace

[blueman378]

hi guys, well heres the code im using,

<?php

//bbcode

$patterns = array(

"/\[url\](.*?)\[\/url\]/",
"/\[img\](.*?)\[\/img\]/",
"/\[b\](.*?)\[\/B\]/",
"/\[b\](.*?)\[\/b\]/",
"/\[u\](.*?)\[\/U\]/",
"/\[u\](.*?)\[\/u\]/",
"/\[i\](.*?)\[\/I\]/",
"/\[i\](.*?)\[\/i\]/",
"/\[quote\](.*?)\[\/quote\]/",
"/\[quote\](.*?)\[\/QUOTE\]/",
"/\[code\](.*?)\[\/code\]/",
"/\[code\](.*?)\[\/CODE\]/",
"/\[s\](.*?)\[\/s\]/",
"/\[s\](.*?)\[\/S\]/",
"/\[url=(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/url\]/",
"/\[color=(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/color\]/",
"/\[size=(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/size\]/",
"/\[marquee\](.*?)\[\/marquee\]/",
"/\[br\]/",

//emoticons

"/\:\)/",
"/\:\(/",
"/\:O/",
"/\:P/",
"/\:\|/",
"/\:D/",
"/\:\?/",);

$replacements = array(

//bbcode

"<a href=\"\\1\">\\1</a>",
"<img border=0 src='\\1'>",
"<b>\\1</b>",
"<b>\\1</b>",
"<u>\\1</u>",
"<u>\\1</u>",
"<i>\\1</i>",
"<i>\\1</i>",
"<div><b>Quote:</b> <i>\\1</i></div>",
"<div><b>Quote:</b> \\1</div>",
"<b>Code:</b><div style='line-height: 12px; width: 99%; white-space: nowrap; overflow: auto; max-height: 25em;'>\\1</div>",
"<b>Code:</b><div style='line-height: 12px; width: 99%; white-space: nowrap; overflow: auto; max-height: 25em;'>\\1</div>",
"<s>\\1</s>",
"<s>\\1</s>",
"<a href=\"\\1\" target=\"_blank\">\\2</a>",
"<font color=\"\\1\">\\2</font>",
"<font size=\"\\1\">\\2</font>",
"<marquee>\\1</marquee>",
"<br />",

//emoticons

"<img src=\"smilies/happy.gif\" border=\"0\">",
"<img src=\"smilies/angry.gif\" border=\"0\">",
"<img src=\"smilies/omg.gif\" border=\"0\">",
"<img src=\"smilies/tounge.gif\" border=\"0\">",
"<img src=\"smilies/dry.gif\" border=\"0\">",
"<img src=\"smilies/biggrin.gif\" border=\"0\">",
"<img src=\"smilies/confused.gif\" border=\"0\">"
);



?>

 

which works perfect,

 

i am wanting to add a smiley in however whenever i try it reads it as the end of the array and spits out an error, how would i stop this from doing that? i tried escaping it with a \ but it doesnt seem to be working

[uniflare]

first make sure there is not a comma before then ending bracket like so: ,); will probably call an error.

 

i dont see why its not working i shall test on my system.

 

TESTED.

"/\[br\]/",

//emoticons

"/\:\)/",
"/\:\(/",
"/\:O/",
"/\:P/",
"/\:\|/",
"/\:D/",
"/\:\?/",
"/\;\)/");

$replacements = array(

//bbcode

"<a href=\"\\1\">\\1</a>",
"<img border=0 src='\\1'>",
"<b>\\1</b>",
"<b>\\1</b>",
"<u>\\1</u>",
"<u>\\1</u>",
"<i>\\1</i>",
"<i>\\1</i>",
"<div><b>Quote:</b> <i>\\1</i></div>",
"<div><b>Quote:</b> \\1</div>",
"<b>Code:</b><div style='line-height: 12px; width: 99%; white-space: nowrap; overflow: auto; max-height: 25em;'>\\1</div>",
"<b>Code:</b><div style='line-height: 12px; width: 99%; white-space: nowrap; overflow: auto; max-height: 25em;'>\\1</div>",
"<s>\\1</s>",
"<s>\\1</s>",
"<a href=\"\\1\" target=\"_blank\">\\2</a>",
"<font color=\"\\1\">\\2</font>",
"<font size=\"\\1\">\\2</font>",

"<img src=\"smilies/biggrin.gif\" border=\"0\">",
"<img src=\"smilies/confused.gif\" border=\"0\">",
"<img src=\"smilies/wink.gif\" border=\"0\">"
);

?>

 

works perfect for me.

 

used this code:

<?php

$string = "this string  has a smiley in it";

$result = preg_replace($patterns,$replacements,$string);

print_r($result);

?>

to test it

but could anyone take a quick look at this topic for me?

FYI: You can cut your code nearly in half by making the patterns case insensitive:

 

Instead of

"/\[b\](.*?)\[\/B\]/",
"/\[b\](.*?)\[\/b\]/",

 

Use this, with the "i" parameter to indicate the patwtern should be case insensitive.

"/\[b\](.*?)\[\/b\]/i",

...and grouping: /\[([bisu])\](.*?)\[\/\1\]/i

[blueman378]

thanks mjdamato,

that shortened it alot, but i dont really get your one effigy?

[effigy]

i dont really get your one effigy?

 

It handles four tags in one--the b, i, s, and u. It is captured so \1 can be used to find the matching end tag.

[blueman378]

ah right that makes sense, one more question, this code works as long as the data is in the same line, eg

[ code ] data here [ / code ] (without spaces) works

but

[ code ]

data here

[ / code ] (without spaces) doesnt get replaced, any way to get the replace to span over multiple lines?

[effigy]

. does not include new lines by default. This can be changed with the /s modifier: /pattern/s

[blueman378]

sorry dude, how would i apply the modifier?

its kinda late/early here so im tired but need to get this done

 

heres the thing im using,

$q = preg_replace($patterns,$replacements, $q);

[blueman378]

ok never mind that was a stupid question...
