Adding |target="_blank"| to each link in a variable?!

[Angry_Coder]

Hello,

Let's say I have the fallowing variable:

$toto = 'Example...
<a href="http://www.example.com">example.com</a>
Some HTML <b>Like bold</b> etc...
<a href="http://www.example.net">example.net</a>
<a href="http://www.example.org">example.org</a>
etc...';

I want to add to each link to fallowing code:

target="_blank"

So each link be as fallow:

<a href="http://example.org"  target="_blank">example.org</a>

How can I do that?

Many thanks in advance...

str_replace is your friend....

$toto = "Example...<a href=\"http://www.example.com\">example.com</a> Some HTML <b>Like bold</b> etc...<a href=\"http://www.example.net\">example.net</a><a href=\"http://www.example.org\">example.org</a> etc...";

$addTarget = str_replace("a href", "a target=\"_blank\" href", $toto);

I'm wondering why you want to do this, rather than just change your handcoding.

is $toto generated and you're giving a simplified question?
Do you need to rethink the way you generate your links?

Where my navigation links aren't held in a table I usually hold in an array, then when there's a change I change the array which is in it's own file. If I want to change the presentation I change the file which utilises the array.

If you want to discuss ways to do this, post more of your code.

Actually I am using a WYSIWUG editor:

It doesn't allow to insert a blank link without modifying the code by hand.

then modify the code by hand, it would be easier since you only do it once, while writing a PHP script means the server does it many times.

It's a public script .. Most of poeple doesn't know HTML 🙂
