[RESOLVED] display images in text

[mrchuckles2002]

Hi,

I wonder if any one can help me.

I'm pulling some text from a database, and currently I have a function that checks through the text and changes <i> to italic and <b> to bold, etc. standard stuff.

I would like to use a function that checks through the text for, say:
<img photo1.jpg> and changes it to:
<img src="http://www.mywebaddress.com/images/photo1.jpg">

Any help on this will be appreciated as I'm a relative newbie to php.

Thanks in advance.

I think you might be pleased with str_replace or if you need somethign more generic, you could try preg_replace but you'll need to do some reading on the topic of "regular expressions".

Hi, I am horrible with regular expressions, but something like:

preg_match("#<img (.{0,})(>)#", $input, $matches);
$name= $matches[0];
echo $name;
