[RESOLVED] This line wont work...

ajdegans

Hey there,

Ive been breaking my head on this for 2 days now 🙁

Nomatter what i try this line isnt getting translated:

$text=preg_replace("/\[url\=(\w+:\/\/)(\S+)\](\S+)\[\/url\]/is","<a href='$1$2' target='_blank'>$3</a>",$text);

Its for a titled BBcode WITH http in the typed url.

I made similiar lines:

function BBCode($text) {
  //url with tags, without http://
  $text=preg_replace("/\[url\=(www\.)(\S+)\](\S+)\[\/url\]/is","<a href='http://$1$2' target='_blank'>$3</a>",$text);
  $text=preg_replace("/\[url\](www\.)(\S+)\[\/url\]/is","<a href='http://$1$2' target='_blank'>$2</a>",$text);

  //url with tags, with http://
  $text=preg_replace("/\[url\=(\w+:\/\/)(\S+)\](\S+)\[\/url\]/is","<a href='$1$2' target='_blank'>$3</a>",$text);
  $text=preg_replace("/\[url\](\w+:\/\/)(\S+)\[\/url\]/is","<a href='$1$2' target='_blank'>$2</a>",$text);
  return $text;
}

The faulty line is threre too, but the rest seems to work alright.

Just that line isnt 🙁

can anyone have a look at it and see whats wrong with it?

Thanks!

Sorry, I'm horrible with regex. But I know some more experienced members here must be whizzes at it 😉

BTW, what's the deal with your blog?

ajdegans

havent been working on zeroblog sincewe last spoke :S had some problems at work so therefor i wasnt able to concentrate on the blog 🙁

LoganK

Allright then. Sorry about that. My comp's been having problems too - hard drive crashed and I had to send it back to Toshiba. Now I'm working off of a 650 MHz Win98 Sony Vaio. ::shiver::

ajdegans

anyway, im still searching for a sollution

maybe i need to mention that the outputted line looks like this:

[ url=http://www.something.com]title[ /url]

Sorry...like I said, try PMing the more experienced members here (BuzzLY, Elizabeth, Drakla, Laserlight, Bubblenut, etc.).

ajdegans

LoganK

i fixed it like so:

$text=preg_replace("/\[url\=(\w+:\/\/)(.*?)\](.*?)\[\/url\]/is","<a href='$1$2' target='_blank'>$3</a>",$text);

Congrats for getting it to work!
