Help creating an array

matbeard

I'm using PHP/mySQL to create a content management system. Most features are working, but I'm struggling with one thing:

When entering article text into the database I use [FONT=courier new]<pr>Title goes here</pr>[/FONT] to signify the start of a new page and its title for multi-page articles.

I then use the [FONT=courier new]split[/FONT] command to split the text at <pr> and place the chunks into an array. This is working well - I have separate pages accessible using &page=x in the URL.

I now need to go through this array and strip off the text before the </pr> tag and place it into another array (and preferably remove the </pr> tag too) - thus creating an array containing the page titles for each page of text.

Can anyone help me out with this?

Much appreciated

If I understand right, you just need to go through the Array, and strip the two tags, thus beeing <pr> and </pr>.

$arrPages = split(...); // as you did it.
foreach($arrPages as $strKey => $strValue){
  $arrPages[$strKey] = str_replace('<pr>','',str_replace('</pr>','',$strValue));
}

Well, not quite... lets say the following is the text entered for a 3 page article

This is some text for the first page.
<pr>This is the title of the second page</pr>
This is some text for the second page.
<pr>Third page title</pr>
This is the text for the third page.

What I currently have results in an array like:

Entry 1: This is some text for the first page.

Entry 2: This is the title of the second page</pr>
This is some text for the second page.

Entry 3: Third page title</pr>
This is the text for the third page.

I now need to strip off the </pr> tags and place the text before it into an array - being an array of page titles. The fact that the first entry is blank doesn't matter, as this is the main title of the article, and is entered in a separate field.

I hope that's more clear. I appreciate any help.
