string replacement

Anon

I've been trying to solve this problem with ereg_replace and preg_replace. I have an html file stored the variable $raw. I want to replace the spaces in any linked text with &nbps; like >my homepage</a> should be >my homepage</a>

This is what I'm trying:
$raw = preg_replace("/>*<\/\a>/e", "preg_replace('[[:space:]]', ' ', //1)", $raw);

But it has no effect on $raw.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Temple

$raw = eregi_replace(">[^{<]*<"," ",$raw);}

That should do it for you

Thanks for replying. But actually, that seems to stip all kinds of chunks of html from $raw.

Here is my program with you code:

<?
$raw = "<body>in the <a href=\"test\">but to the victor</a> end</body>";

$raw = eregi_replace(">[^{<]*<"," ",$raw);}

echo $raw;
?>

This is what it produces in $raw:
<html body a href="test" /a /body /html>

This is what I want it to produce:

<body>in the <a href="test">but to the victory</a> end</body>

Any ideas?

The \&nbsp's didn't show up in the result line of the post above.

I want it to produce:

<body>in the <a href="test">but&nbsp,to&nbsp,the&nbsp,victory</a> end</body>

AURGH!!! The spaces are supposed to be &-n-b-s-p-;'s but just between the > and the </a>
