Skip over html

[robertaccettura]

I'm interested in skipping over html

For example if the line contains:

<p style="something">Test <br>data</p>

Say I want to run the function foo().

I only want to foo('Test ') and foo(data).

But I don't want to loose the HTML. Just I don't want to apply the desired function(s) to it.

Any advice?

I'm stumped. Every idea I come up with has a side effect (like canning the html), or applying it to all data.

Hmm, interesting; it'd take a while to hack this one together --- that is, for me.... 😃

What I'm thinking (but not coding, heh) is:

1. Dupe the variable.
2. Striptags the duped var.
3. Explode the duped var on {space}.
4. Work the function on each element of the array from #3, but save it into another array.
5. Loop both arrays simultaneously, using str_replace or somesuch to insert each of the elements from the function(ed) array into the original variable.

Hmm, sounds good, but I bet it doesn't work... for one thing, what if the results where the same on two array entries?? :rolleyes:
