Convert internal links in my CMS

Yari

Hi,

I have had this issue for over 3 years, and never thought to ask anyone about it... what I am trying to do is convert internal links found in the text of my CMS system.

To create a link I use the code:

<link=1>this is a link</link>

which created a link to page with the id 1.

E.g. index.php?id=1

This works well using the little function I wrote:

	function convert_Links($content) {
		$pattern='(<link=)([0-9]{0,5})(>)';
		$replacement='<a href="/index.php?id=\2">';
		$pattern2='</link>';
		$replacement2='</a>';
		$content=eregi_replace($pattern2, $replacement2,eregi_replace($pattern, $replacement, $content));	
		return $content;
	}

However, recently I upgraded my menu and url links to a cleaner format using mod-rewrite, to that the links show as directories.

E.g. /cms/home/1

with the 1 being the page id number.

Is there anyway to get the id number as I go and use it to get the page id's name and url for the link (as a separate function maybe)?

I hope I have explained this well enough, please ask if I need to clarify anything.

Thanks guy!

i think you can use regular expressions that parse a URL, so i suppose you could just parse it to the end of the URL to find the ID, then do a simple query to get the page name. If this is what you mean.

I'm not sure... I think my post was waaayyy to long to get what I was after...

What I need is to get the id from the text, then use that to find the page url or name, and replace the id with the name, such as

/cms/home/1
instead of
index.php?id=1

Can I get the id out of the eregi_replace while is running?

Thanks
