[RESOLVED] preg_replace / highlight_string

saint4

I've got part of the following in a script i call

function bbcode($bcode)
{
$bcode = preg_replace("#\[ PHP\](.*?)\[ /PHP\]#sie", "'<div>'.highlight_string(stripslashes('$1'), true).'</div>'", $bcode);

return $bcode;
}

*without the spaces where [ PHP] is.

Now if i go to the textarea and type the following;

[ PHP]<?php
echo $me;?>[ /PHP]

*again without the spaces where [ PHP] is.

It displays color coded but like;

<?php echo $me;?>

But the shouldnt be there. and if i add str_replace(' ', '', $bcode);

if i had

<? echo $me; echo " ";?>

That would be gone

any suggestions?

Sounds like its running though [man]nl2br/man somehwere allong the line. Also, shouldnt this line be?

$bcode = preg_replace("#\[ PHP\](.*?)\[ /PHP\]#sie", '<div>'.highlight_string(stripslashes('$1'), true).'</div>', $bcode);

With what you said it throws a parse error (removing double quotes)

nodi

Try

str_replace('<br>', "\n", $bcode);

i did do that before but if they have for example in their code.

<?
echo "something<br>lala";?>

That br would disappear.

saint4

sorted it out. Thanks for your help though

What was the problem?

saint4

i had str_replace("\n", " ", $bcode); called earlier on in that function.

So i removed it and then tested it. which made everything in a straight line.

so i added it after the highlight_string.

And it worked how i needed it too

Thats basicaly what I said in my first reply hehe.....

Sounds like its running though nl2br() somehwere allong the line.

[man]nl2br[/man] is basicaly the built in version of str_replace("\n"," ",$str)
