seby

also is it possible to do something like this:

Text
Text
[/list ]

and it will parse like this:

<ul>
<li> Text
<li> Text
</ul>

I can replace the
- with preg_replace(); but how do I get <li> along with the
  - ?? this is what I have:
    
    $var = preg_replace("/[list](.*?)[\/list]/si", "<ul>\1</ul>", $var);
    
    how do i get this to add <li> after each sentence?

i added spaces btw the brackets coz vb modifies my code
remove them to make it work

$text=eregi_replace("\[list\]","<ul>",$text); 
$text=eregi_replace("\[/list\]","</ul>",$text); 
$text=eregi_replace("\[\*\]","<li>",$text);

thanks, any ideas about my first question?

last question... i have a little problem with parsing text that is in a javascript.

for instance, i am replacing anything with <li> to <b>»</b>

but the <li> in the the javascript does not get parsed, it remains as an:

About the first post, I assume that the string is assigned to a variable. If so, just do a

$string = str_replace("\n","",$originalstring);

seby

thanks it worked.

Any ideas about the in the javascript that isn't geting parsed?

For instance, this is part of a hide/show text toggle, the <li> is suppose to parse to a "»" but its not because i guess the javascript it stopping it from parsing, is there a workaround?

<a href="/articles/comments.php?id=14" onclick="hidetoggle('news id 14'); return false;" 
onmouseover="window.status='Read full story'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">Read full story (20 more words)</a> ]<br/><br/>
<span id="news id 14" style="display: none">

<li>This is the text and the <li> isn't getting parsed.</span>

it parses everything else outside the hidetoggle though.

thank you all for the help.
