preg_replace

roshanjameer

i have one mysql table which has 2 fields

1.id 2.message

values

1 r%#dfont style="font-size: 8pt;"#i#j# WELCOME r%#d/fontb*%d

i want to fetch this data and print it as WELCOME

i want to replace r%#d with '<' and b*%d with '>' and ignore this #i#j#.
i have used preg_replace but nothing is displaying.any of your help will be appreciated.

thanks

Try something like:

$str = preg_replace("/^.*#j# (.*) r\%#.*$/", "\\1", $str);

If "b%d" is supposed to be ">", you have a missing a "b%d" sequence after the font tag.

If your HTML was valid, I would suggest this:

$search = array('r%#d', 'b*%d', '#i#j#');
$replace = array('<', '>', '');
$data = str_replace($search, $replace, $data);

simply because there'd be no need for using regular expression.

Because what we all need is yet another markup syntax 🙂
