A preg_replace problem with code!

Houdini

I thought I had this fixed till I did a page view and was wondering sshy some of my table attributes weren't set.

I have a Javascript that will prompt a user for five table attributes and will produce this in the message entry box:
[table bd = 15 bgc = green bdc = red cp =10 cs =10]

Which is passed through the following preg_replace code:

$txt = preg_replace( "#\[table bd=(.+?)bgc=(.+?)bdc=(.+?)cp=(.+?)cs=(.+?)\](.+?)\[/table\]#is", "<table 

border=\\1bgcolor=\\2bordercolor=\\3cellpadding=\\4cellspacing=\\5>\\6</table>", $txt );

If you then preview or post the above this is what the code produced:

<table border = 5 bgc = blue bordercolor = black cp = 9 cs = 2>

What I want of course is:

<table border = 5 bgcolor = blue bordercolor = black cellpaddingp = 9 cellspacing = 2>

What is wrong with this code to produce this strange result?

Well, your expression requires "something[/table]" at the end in order for it to work. Also, you have a space on the left of each equal sign which your expression doesn't take into account. So, in the example below, I put a question mark (?) making the space optional. The preg_replace() manual page recommends to use \${backref #} instead of \backref # syntax.

$txt = '[table bd = 15 bgc = green bdc = red cp =10 cs =10]test[/table]';
$txt = preg_replace( "#\[table bd ?=(.+?)bgc ?=(.+?)bdc ?=(.+?)cp ?=(.+?)cs ?=(.+?)\](.+?)\[/table\]#is", "<table border=\${1} bgcolor=\${2} bordercolor=\${3} cellpadding=\${4} cellspacing=\${5}>\${6}</table>", $txt );
echo htmlentities($txt);

The above code outputs:

<table border= 15 bgcolor= green bordercolor= red cellpadding=10 cellspacing=10>test</table>

I ran

$txt = preg_replace( "#\[table bd ?=(.+?)bgc ?=(.+?)bdc ?=(.+?)cp ?=(.+?)cs ?=(.+?)\](.+?)\[/table\]#is", "<table border=\${1} bgcolor=\${2} bordercolor=\${3} cellpadding=\${4} cellspacing=\${5}>\${6}</table>", $txt );

and ran it on PHP Designer 2005 and got this result.

<table border = 8 bgcolor = lime bordercolor = blue cellpadding = 3 cellspacing = 5>

Then I updated the code for the IPB board and it produced this WHY? Could it be the PHP Version on my server. I did know about the $(backref) I guess it is a poor habit so excuse me on that point. Think the server might be using an older PHP or what?

<table border = 8 bgc = green bordercolor = blue cp = 3 cs = 5>
