[RESOLVED] reg replace problem

[cosbeta]

$text = '

<code lang="lang">code1</code>
sdsds
<code lang="lang">code2</code>
3333

<code lang="lang">code3</code> '

after replace

$text = '

<textarea css="lang" name=$name[0]>code1</textarea>
sdsds

<textarea css="lang" name=$name[1]>code2</textarea>
3333

<textarea css="lang" name=$name[2]>code3</textarea> ';

the index of array $name is just the order of the string "<code "

I am appreciate to wait for you solutions than you

Hmm... I suppose I'd do something like this:

$i = 0;
$pattern = '@<code lang="(.*)">(.*)</code>@Usie';
$replace = '\'<textarea css="$1" name="\' . $name[$i++] . \'">$2</textarea>\'';
$text = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $text);

If you do, and I agree - you definitely should learn it, it's a very useful tool, keep this site in mind.
