Get Tag Information

JCScoobyRS

I have the need of getting the contents of a "

" tag.  The tag is "[code]" but it has a "switch" that can be many things.  I need to be able to pass the "[code]" tag anything and get it's results.  If the "[code]" tage looked like this "[code=vb]", I'd need to return "vb".  Does this make sense and can anyone help a newbie?  Thanks, Jeremy

You can do that with regular expressions. Check out the manual and the function list.

This is code I use to get a vBulletin-code-esque [url] tag. You can change it to your needs.
$string = eregi_replace("\)[\"?]\]([^\[]*)\[/url\]","<a href=\"\1\" target=\"_blank\">\2</a>",$string);
The ([^\[]) is what turns into \1 and \2. \1 is the URL, \2 is what's inbetween the [url] tags.
