[Resolved] eregi_replace help ???

[niroshan]

hi,
Can anyone help me to write this eregi_replace() function.Basically this is to convert all the html tags to xhtml compatible.

I have a string as ,

$str="<img src='aa.jpg' height='12px'> some text <br> some text <hr> some text
<input type='button' name='b1' value='click me'>";

this $str can have any html tags that doesnt have a closing tag.

now what i want is to write individual eregi_replace() functions to convert all the non closing tags with a closing tag. I can hardcde the passing value because there are limited tags which are not having a closing tag.

I`m really not good in regular expresions. So please can anyone help me with writing the eregi_replace().

There is a special case like the tag <br>, Because this tag doesnt have any attributes but on the other hand <img> tag can have attribute. So our regular expression should be able to handdle the both cases.

I really appreciate your help.

Thanx in advance,

Regards,
Niroshan

$search = array('img', 'br', 'hr', 'meta', 'input');

$pattern = '%\\<('.implode('|', $search).')\\s*(.*)\\>%siU';

$text = "<img src='aa.jpg' height='12px'> some text <br> some text <hr> some text
<input type='button' name='b1' value='click me'>

<br>
<hr>
<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='5;url=http://www.example.com'>";

echo $replaced = preg_replace($pattern, '<$1 $2 />', $text);
