Work with text outside of '<' & '>' in an HTML script

ElecTroniXpress

Lets say that I have a small piece of HTML code...

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Meow Mix</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="RED">
<H2>Font:
<BR />
<FONT SIZE="-1">font is defined as blah blah blah...
</BODY>
</HTML>

...and I want to replace all of the [font]'s (no case sensitivity) with the word pumpkin. The problem is I also have "FONT" in an HTML tag and I don't want that one to change. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks a lot.

you wanna change [font] or the word font. If its [font] would be easy. as far as i can tell, never tryed but i think it would go somthing like this.

$doc = fopen ("its/path/yourfile.php", "w"); 
$replace = str_replace ("[font]", "pumpkin", "$doc");
fclose ($file); 
echo "$replace";

you can prolly do alot fo diffrent things with
str_replace ("[font]", "pumpkin", "$doc");

the above is just an small sample of somthing but i am sure if you put your mind to it you can figer it out 😃

I meant the actual word font, not the font in brackets

got a way its curd but it does the job.

I added comments to show you how i did it even tho its pretty easy to under stand.

// var to replace stuff in to replace
  $html = "<font color='#00ffff'>font font font</font>";

// function to replace them
       function replacefont($html) 
 {
// replace the front and end the tags frist
          str_replace ("<font", "[tagstart]", "$html");
          str_replace ("</font>", "[tagend]", "$html");
// replace the word font
          str_replace ("font", "pumpkin", "$html");
// put the tags back
          str_replace ("[tagstart]", "<font", "$html");
          str_replace ("[tagend]", "</font>", "$html");
// return the new var
    return $html;
}

replacefont($html);

echo "$html";

I was thinking of a way to do it avoiding ALL HTML tags, not only the font tag. That was only an example.
