Thread: Returning a string between two substrings




Returning a string between two substrings
user name
2006-07-19 09:39:14
Howdy,
Looking for a function that will find a substring between
two
substrings. For example:

"this is some text [url]http://www.url.com[/url] this
is some more
text."

I need a function that can return the url in the above
example so I can
change it to a html link. Obviously the url can be of
changing length
which makes it complicated to code.

anyone got ideas?
Cheers,
Ciaran

are you looking ALWAYS for a URL ?
find a pattern to match the substring you are looking for and use pregmatch() ( http://ro.php.net/preg_match ) to find it

Got it working:
The following code replaces the characters between the [url]
and [/ur]
tags with HTML code for a hyperlink:

<?php
$result= "some text containing url tags within
it";

$result=preg_replace("!\[url\](.*)\[/url\]!"
,"<a
href=\"\\1\">\\1</a>",
$result); 

echo $result;
?>

Hope that helps someone!
