[RESOLVED] ereg_replace with substr

[tomc_1]

Hi,

I'm writing a script which will convert plain text such as TITLE: into a tag such as H1 which can then be styled in CSS.

i.e.

<h1>TITLE</h1>

$mystring = "Nothing unusual ABOUT: our produce ORAS:";
echo ereg_replace("[A-Z]+:", "<h1>\\0</h1>", $mystring);

The above works but I now want to remove the colon at the end. Using substr() within the ereg_replace doesn't seem to work as it treats \0 as the literal string "\0" - not as the desired TITLE: text.

Could anyone give me some pointers on how I could get this to work? There may be multiple instances of TITLE: in a string, and all need to be replaced the same way.

Many thanks in advance for any help! 😃

Tom

$mystring = "Nothing unusual about: our produce ORAS:";

$mystring = preg_replace('/([A-Z]+):/', "<h1>$1</h1>", $mystring);

That works a charm! Thanks Drew!
