Target Replacement

[Anon]

I need to parse some data submitted via a form and do the following:

1. If the data contains target=(whatever) I want to change that to target=_blank.
2. If the code doesn't contain target then just instert target=_blank.

I can't just automatically insert that at the beginning because this code can be editted and resubmitted at a later time. This would cause the data to include a bunch of targets..

TIA

I am not sure how to tell you exactly how to do this without knowing precisely how the submitted data is formatted. If it was in fact 'target=(whatever)' parenthesis included, it would be easy.

eregi_replace("target=(.+)","target='_blank'", $data);

Where $data is the submitted data. I will not swear that "target=(.+)" is the proper expression without testing it, but that's the gist of it.

Hopefully this will at least point you in the right direction

actually it could be target="blank" target=blank etc

Ok, I have this:

if(ereg("target",$ti)) $ti=eregi_replace("target=.+","target=\"_blank\"",$ti);
else $ti=eregi_replace("<a href","<a target=\"_blank\" href",$ti);

but now it truncates after the replacement string (ie target=\"_blank\")

?
