[PHP] Never mind ... stupid me :-/ {was Re: [PHP] ereg-replace ... how to catch :'( [crying smiley] ???}
Never mind y'all ... me stupid ...
obviously the ( has meaning, and needs to be escaped ... was starting to
think it could only do 2 ereg's in 1 script *sigh*
Sorry for wasting time and bandwidth ... the function now looks like this
and works :
function gfx_smiley($text) {
$smiley_path = 'smiley';
$text = eregi_replace(':-?D','img src='.$smiley_path.'/biggrin.gif
alt=:D width=15 height=15 align=absmiddle',$text);
$text = ereg_replace(':-?\?','img src='.$smiley_path.'/confused.gif
alt=:? width=15 height=22 align=absmiddle',$text);
$text = ereg_replace(':#039;-?\(','img
src='.$smiley_path.'/crying.gif alt=:#039;( width=25 height=15
align=absmiddle',$text);
$text = ereg_replace(':-?\(','img src='.$smiley_path.'/frown.gif
alt=:( width=15 height=15 align=absmiddle',$text);
return $text;
}

I'm trying to do graphical smileys for my guestbook, but I've run into a
problem with the crying smilies:
I need to replace :'( and :'-( ... or as they look in the post after being
entered through htmlentities with ent_quotes on:
:#039;(
:#039;-(
this causes the entire message to disappear:
$text = ereg_replace(':#039;-?(','img src='.$smiley_path.'/crying.gif
alt=:#039;( width=25 height=15 align=absmiddle',$text);
only the format of the search part differs from my other smiley
replacements, so obviously that's where the problem is ... afaik, neither
, # or ; have any meaning in regex, so I don't get what causes it ...
I've tried escaping all of those chars, and it still causes $text to come
back empty...
any ideas will be highly appreciated...

RB Check out the new Metalbunny forums @ http://forums.metalbunny.net/ Yes it is based on perl regular expressions which are pretty close to posix, close enough for simple stuff anyway. preg_replace is quite a bit faster than ereg_replace, I know preg_* functions keep a cache of expressions which can speed up repetitive uses. Not sure about ereg functions though. -- regards, Tom -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
