EREG Trouble

atracht

I just can't figure it out. I need to replace all instances of // in a string to / in a page but not where there is http: before it. I've been trying to use ereg_replace but it isn't working correctly.

This may look stupid but i've tried:

eregi_replace("(http🙂{0}//", "/", $string);

along with many variations of that (and ereg) but it doesn't work. I'm kinda new with ereg so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

cheesy...but...

$key = md5('keyword');
$rkey = strrev($key);
$str = str_replace($str,'http://',$key.'http:'.$rkey);
$str = str_replace($str,'//','/');
$str = str_replace($str,$key.'http:'.$rkey,'http://');

should work....

the md5 should ensure its unique enough for this purpose 🙂

thanks!

What if i wanted to insert a string after a certain string that does not contain http after it.

Another example:

eregi_replace("^{var=(http){0}",} "\0$r_string", $string);

So insert a replacement string after all var= (in the search string) that don't have http after them.

so var=test would be changed to var=($r_string)test

($r_string above being replaced with whatever string the variable $r_string contains)

and var=http://test would not be changed

Thanks for your help!

do it the same way....

$key = md5('keyword');
$rkey = strrev($key);
$str = str_replace($str,'var=http://',$key.'var-http:'.$rkey);
$str = str_replace($str,'var=', "var=($r_string)";
$str = str_replace($str,$key.'var-http:'.$rkey,'var=http://');

should work....

dont have time to play with ereg's rightnow.. but I'll try later if i get that working ill let ya know 😛

thanks again:

Here is one more thing I just can't figure out.

How could I extract the url or file following an action= statement

Example:

$string = <form action="http://localhost/action.php" method ...

Extract the http://localhost/action.php from that.

I've tried ereg, but I'm still lost.

Thanks!

ereg's would be the easiest way for that.... faking that kind of match would require lots of strpos'ing and substr's 😛

Hi,

Ive tried:

eregi("action=^{['|\"]?[^{]['|\"]?[:space:]$",}} $string);

but that doesn't seem to work. I just can't seem to get regular expressions.

Any ideas?

tekky

maybe...

eregi("action=['|\"]{0,1}([*]){0,}['|\"]?[ ]$", $string);

I think this owuld translate to....

'anythinghere' -end with space or...
"anythuinghere" -end with space....

but I could be and very likely am wrong 😃
