[RESOLVED] Pseudocode to PHP?

[Atomiku]

Well, I know what I need to do but Im not sure how I would do it in PHP 🙁

Anyway, I have a string like this:

++"Hello, This is a "STRING". and it is very very 'cool' dont ya think?++"

Now, inbetween the ++" i would like to add slashes and also replace ++" with just "

Pseudocode:

Look for a ++" then store where it is in a variable
Look for another ++" then store it in a varialbe
So now I have a start and finish
Then somehow take whatever is in between variable1 and variable 2 then addslashes()

then put it all back to gether again... Anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks in advance - Matt

try something like

$string = preg_replace('/\+\+.*?\+\+/e', "addslashes('$0')",  $string);

Haha thanks 🙂
I guess I should really work on my regular expressions 🙁
