PHP - Stripping Html Tags

Hi all,

I just managed to make a little mod_rewrite rule which manages to interpret url's without the extension and calls the right file with the extension (ie. /articles   calls   articles.php) . But now i am left with another question which i am almost certain has nothing to do with mod_rewrite, but rather with a php trick.

In case someone enters on my site  www.mydomain.com/laalalalala.php
How do i get rid of that last part(the extension for example)? Do i maybe have to get the GET['var'] and run it through a regex and reload the page with the stripped version?

That was all i could think off but it sound so complicated.
if anyone has an idea i would love to hear it
cheers!

P.s.s if anyone want's that rewrite rule, let me know. I saw quite some people on the internet looking for it

i'm having problems with apostrophes causing an error on my contact form. I've tried stripslash and also str_replace but i can't get it to work. what am i doing wrong?

thanks

Hi All,

Hope you can help, I'm having problems with the strip_tags code, I'm having problems getting it to work with certain tags, the code below shows my issue:


$print_description = <span style="color: #ff99cc; font-size: large">4 x BLUE handmade clay feet</span>

$print_description = strip_tags($print_description); //remove html because of danger of broken tags

I've cut down the code to show the problem. So I want to strip the Span tags; the problem I am having is as soon as you have a style attribute with more than one attribute and you use a ; symbol strip_tag will strip the entire content of the <span>AND ALL THE TEXT IN THE MIDDLE</span>.

I want to just be left with '4 x BLUE handmade clay feet'

If I take the ; out and just have one style it works fine. I am using tiny_MCE so don't have the option not to use what it makes me use.

I've searched the net and have tried a few things to make it work but now I'm at a loss.

Any help would be gratefully received.

Hi there.

I'm doing a calendar page with php. It's based on a template and in this template all the output text and html-tags are saved into a xml string.

I want to add a tooltip/hovering effect and found one on the net. I applied this script but it doesn't work. It works on "plain html", but when it is within the php it just won't work..

This is how my code looks like:

START:
$xml = '<?xml version="1.0" ?><response><content><![CDATA[';

--- kode -- kode -- kode ---

    $xml.="<div class='calevent'>
                   
                <a href='' class='someClass' title='<img src=1.jpg>'>Curabitur dolor eros</a>
                <a href='java script:navigate(\"\",\"\",\"".$row[0]."\")'>";
   
               
                $xml.=$erow[0];
               
               

                $xml.="</a></div>";

END:

echo $xml;

-------------
The script is supposed to add tooltips when an element is declared "someClass" and it works on plain html on the same page..
Take a look: http://clubbinghagen.dk/calendar/

Links in the calendar have no tooltip, but the Admin link in the center bottom (a bit hard to see!) has a working image as a tooltip.

Any ideas??

How can I add html tags in php as a variable?

For example, for some reason my code gives me a header error if I use html before the php tags.

I just need to add the style in there.

I was wondering how I could add a style of any html tag within php as a variable??

Like I was thinking like

<?php
$style = "<style>

div.error {
border: 1px dashed #660000;
background: #fee;
color: #660000;
}
</style>";

echo $style;


?>
But that would probably just print out the code... how can I make it so it wont print out on screen and I can actually use the style?

Sorry for the noob question... im kind of an intermeddiate php programmer but the noobs questions still seem to never go away!

Hello,

I just wanted to run over some code i'm using to loop through for a page. And wanted people critique on it really. It is a bit messy i feel trying to include all the html tags inside the loop in order for me to achieve the page look i want and whilst maintaining to xhtml standards. Would any one please take a look at my code which works and tell me how they would do it or if its done badly as i'm interested to know

$q = "SELECT title, content, get, link FROM content WHERE page='index'";
$r = mysqli_query($dbc, $q);
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) {

echo '<h2>'; // print for start of H-tag
echo $row['title']; // print title inside H-tag
echo '</h2><p>'; // close H-tag, line break, start of P-tag
$get = $row['get'];
$link = $row['link'];
$content = $row['content'];
$content = explode(' ', $content);
$y = 90;
$x = 0;
while ($x < $y) {
echo $content[$x].' '; // print content inside P-tag
$x++;
} // end of content 
echo '</p><a href="seo.php?x='; // close P-tag, start A-Tag print link
echo "$get"; // $_GET['']
echo '">read more...&#38;#187;&#38;#187;</a>'; // close  url start the anchor text and close off </a>

} // End of while
echo '</div>'; // End of left content
echo '<div class="right">'; // Start of right div 
echo '<h2>News</h2>'; // News title

I'd appreciate any feed back from more experienced users/coders

Thank you in advance :-)

Hi there,

I'm new to the board, so apologise if something like this has been asked before. I'm also quite new to php, so the disaster that is my code will probably make your stomach turn, but it works so far...

I am using file_get_contents to grab a website I have access to (my work rota, incidentally), and parse a bit of the html. The aim is to be able to take my rota and do a few things with the times and dates, etc..

So far, I have got the file, parsed the crap out of the string that I don't need, and i'm left with something that looks like this:

Code: [Select]
<TR><TD ></TD></TR><TR bgcolor='ffff00'><TD>Date</TD><TD>Duty</TD><TD>Dep</TD><TD>Begin</TD><TD>End</TD><TD>Arr</TD></TR><TR><TD ></TD></TR><TR><TD>23 Apr 12, Mon</TD><TD>297</TD><TD>STN</TD><TD>15:55</TD><TD>17:10</TD><TD>DUB</TD></TR><TR><TD>23 Apr 12, Mon</TD><TD>288</TD><TD>DUB</TD><TD>17:35</TD><TD>18:50</TD><TD>STN</TD></TR><TR><TD>23 Apr 12, Mon</TD><TD>293</TD><TD>STN</TD><TD>19:15</TD><TD>20:30</TD><TD>DUB</TD></TR><TR><TD>23 Apr 12, Mon</TD><TD>298</TD><TD>DUB</TD><TD>20:55</TD><TD>22:05</TD><TD>STN</TD></TR><TR><TD ></TD></TR>
The people who wrote my rota weren't very tidy, but in a nutshell, I want the information between the TD/TR brackets. Each Row contains cells with my date, time, destination etc in it. I can use striptags, but I end up with a long string that is difficult to split into useful information. I need something that parses the string like this..

"for every row grab information between <td> and </td> and load into $td[0]" etc.."

How would I go about doing something like this? I'm a bit stumped.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I'm working on a page where users can add articles by writing text in textareas with a WYSIWYG editor. When they submit the form it's saved in a database.
As a summary of the article i grab the first 800 characters of the article, but as you could imagine there might occur html tags like <div> or <span> in the summary which are not closed. To prevent this from ruining my page layout when their articles are posted on the wegbsite I could use strip_tags but I'd like to keep the format, also this would delete images.
I couldn't think of another solution then a function which checks for open tags and if so; add closing tags at the end of the summary.
I already made a similar function a while back, but that one only checks for <div> and <span>, as those are the worst.. The nasty part is that I kind of deleted that function accidentally, and I can't fully remember how I wrote that..

So what I would like to have is a function that checks for all unclosed html tags and add the associated closing tags, in the right order, at the end of the summary. Any help getting on the right track is appreciated.

I'm trying to learn php, and I've picked up a php/mysql member system type script, and I'm trying to put the login/sign-up forms into my own pages. The problem I'm having though is getting PHP and HTML to work in the same echo"";

Hello,

I can't find those or mr. Google, can anyone please help me to find them? the tags that can be included in HTML and deciphered by PHP as a PHP code

<if> <else> <elseif> etc..

Thanks

Hello firstly i would like to say im very new to this forum (Signed up 5 minutes ago). I have decided to join as im in my final year at university and have been asked to create a website, so im guessing ill be coming back here a lot for help! .

Anyway my most current problem is i have an if statement that hides the "Register" button if the user is logged in and Shows a welcome message and the users name if the user is logged in. However i would like to make the log in form disappear if the user is logged in. I know that by putting the form code in the else part of my if statement it will disappear if the user is logged in however when i do this it stops my whole website working.

Any help would be very grateful.

Thanks Glen.

In my mail function, the $message parameter contains html tags such as <br><B> <a> etc etc.. But when I receive the email those tags are non functional. I do not get a bold text or a line break or a hyperlink as I should. How do i make it work?
 

Hi there i was wondering how i would go about using html tags inside the php tags so i could put data from a database into a textarea / text input i had a go but had no such luck with this attempt:

<?php 

echo "Title:<br>";
echo "<input type="text" name="title" value="$row['Title']">";

?>
the code above is to give you an idea of what i want to do, if you can point me to any guides or show me how it will be greatly appriciated

Thanks,
