PHP - Preg Replace Not Working

I've never really made my own bbcode parser function before, but I'm going off of different tutorials to help me create my own style of parsing.  I've actually never really used preg_replace much, either.  My code is returning an odd error and I have no idea how to fix it.  I'm using codeigniter and the error it returns is below:

Quote

preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Compilation failed: nothing to repeat at offset 6


This is the code for my function:
Code: [Select]
function bbParse($string){

$codes = array(
'/\[b\](*?)\[\/b\]/' => '<b>\\1</b>', //bold tags
'/\[h2\](*?)\[/h2\]/' => '<h2>\\1</h2>', //h2 tags
'/\[h3\](*?)[\/h3\]/' => '<h3>\\1</h3>', //h3 tags
'/\[quote\](*?)\[\/quote\]/' => '<blockquote>\\1</blockquote>', //quote tags using the template's blockquote tag
'/\[img\](*?)\[/img\]/' => '<img src=\'\\1\' alt=\'Image Not Available\'>', //image tags
'/\[url\=(*?)\](*?)\[/url\]/' => '<a href=\'\\1\' title=\'\\2\'>\\2</a>', //anchor tags
'/\[p\](*?)\[/p\]/' => '<p>\\1</p>' //paragraph tags
);



$string = preg_replace(array_keys($codes), array_values($codes), $string);

return $string;


}

Code: [Select]
line 129- function filterBadWords($str)
 {
    $result = mysql_query("SELECT badwords FROM clean") or die(mysql_error());
    $replacements = "*";
   
    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
    {     
          $bad_words= $row['badwords'];
          $spaced_bad_words = preg_replace("/(.)/i", "\${1} ", $bad_words);
          $spaced_bad_words = trim($spaced_bad_words);
          $str = preg_replace("/$bad_words | $spaced_bad_words/i", str_repeat('*', strlen($bad_words)), $str);
    }
   
    return $str;
Line 143 - }
I go this error "Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Compilation failed: unmatched parentheses at offset 1 in C:\xampp\htdocs\login\chatlog3.php on line 139"

Hi, I am having a pretty difficult time getting files to upload to my server that have a Single Quote in the file name.
Example:

myfile's.pdf

I need to strip the file name of the quote before it uploads to the server.
I currently am using SWFUpload and this is the bit of code that was included with it.

I need to modify it to remove the single quotes as well. Been hammering my head over this all day.


$file_name = preg_replace('/[^'.$valid_chars_regex.']|\.+$/i', "", basename($_FILES[$upload_name]['name']));
if (strlen($file_name) == 0 || strlen($file_name) > $MAX_FILENAME_LENGTH) {
HandleError("Invalid file name");
exit(0);
}


thanks

    if ($template->load($maintemplatefile,$values)) {
       //load every php file in the plugin folder

I call the above code it prints out the template file but it does not recursively replace the <TEMPLATE_LOADTEMPLATE_$1> that is in the file even though it properly parses both the $tag and $value variables going to the $this->replace($tag,$value); line.  Any idea why this does not work?

<?php

      if (file_exists($file)) {
        //get template directory
        $dir=substr($file,0,strrpos($file,'/')) . '/';
       

        //get template
        $this->code=file_get_contents($file);

        //check if any recurseve templates to add
        $tags=$this->tags();

        //process all internal template tags
        $newValues=array_slice($values,1);
        foreach ($tags as $tag) {

          //handle inserting new template file
          if (substr($tag,0,13)=='LOADTEMPLATE_') {
            $file=substr($tag,13);
            if ($file[0]=='$') {
              $file=$values[(substr($file,1)-1)];
            }
            $temp=new Template;
            $filename=$dir . $file . '.xhtml';
            if ($temp->load($filename,$newValues)) {
              $value=$temp->html();
            } else {
              $value='File Not Found';
            }
            $this->replace($tag,$value);
          }
        }


        return true;
      } else {
        return false;
      }
    }

    function tags() {
      preg_match_all('/<TEMPLATE_[^<]+?>/', $this->code, $tags);
      $tags=$tags[0];
      foreach ($tags as $key=>$value) {
        $tags[$key]=substr($value,10,-1);
      }
      return array_unique($tags);
    }

    function replace($tag,$value) {
      $this->code = ereg_replace('<TEMPLATE_' . $tag . '>',$value . '',$this->code);
    }

    function replaceSection($tag,$value) {
      $replace='~<TEMPLATE_' . $tag . '>[\s\S]*?</TEMPLATE_' . $tag . '>~';
      $this->code = preg_replace($replace,$value . '',$this->code);

      $this->code = ereg_replace("  ",' ',$this->code);
      $this->code = ereg_replace("\r",'',$this->code);
    }

    function html() {
      //remove <TEMPLATE_*> & </TEMPLATE_*> tags then return html.
      return preg_replace('/(<\/?)TEMPLATE_[^<]+?>/','',$this->code);
    }
  }

The situation is that I have a large string with some identifiers to say "replace me" with something else. My goal is to replace the values, but if one replacement includes one of the other keys, I don't want to replace it.   For example:

<?php
$str = 'some blob ~abc~ followed by ~def~';

$arr_orig = array(
	'~abc~',
	'~def~'
);

$arr_new  = array(
	'value~def~',
	'blah'
);

echo str_replace( $arr_orig, $arr_new, $str );
?>

This will echo: some blob valueblah followed by blah   But that's not what I'm trying to accomplish. Basically, I want ~abc~ to be replaced with the literal: value~def~ and for the ~def~ that happens to be part of that string to NOT be replaced. I hope what I'm asking is clear. Basically, preg_replace/str_replace with arrays seems no different than just doing a FOR loop and replacing ~abc~ and then ~def~. But that's not what I need.   I'm hoping that if ~abc~ is replaced with text that happens to be another identifier -- ~def~, ~xyz~, whatever -- that this already replaced text is not again replaced. Is there a built-in function to do something like this? If not, should I just parse the whole string and count characters or something? Seems like a pain (and slow!)

Hi
i wrote a find and replace code but my code replace last value of array and skip the first, second.... values in the array.
Please give me an idea because i stack with this code.

Regards


$KeyWord  = explode("\n", $RowGetWords['KEYWORDS']);
$Replace  = explode("\n", $RowGetWords['ReplaceTo']);

for($i=0; $i<count($KeyWord); $i++){
$pattern = $KeyWord[$i];
$replace = "<a href=\"" .$URL. "\" target=\"_blank\" >" .$Replace[$i]. "</a>";
$html = str_replace($pattern, $replace, $Row['MessageBody']);
}

so I use file_get_contents to get the contents of a webpage, one of the lines has


Code: [Select]
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.google.com/blahblahblah?s=5cd04d4a7632296b9cdb463d04e82c05" />
I want it to echo only http://www.google.com/blahblahblah so anything between <meta property="og:url" content=" and ?s=5cd04d4a7632296b9cdb463d04e82c05" /> I want to extract and put into a variable

this works just fine but I was thinking preg match would be better


$thread = explode('<meta property="og:url" content="', $psuc);
$thread = explode('?s=', $thread[1]);
echo $thread[0];


Thanks

Hi,

Say you had, <business_name type="string">L Choong</business_name>, contained inside a variable(content before and after this in the same var), how would you extract the 'L Choong' information as a new var?

Thanks

Hello,
I am trying to crawl a website and get all the domain names listed on the site to output into my php script. 
I am using the following code.... 
The main area is the preg match area, since I know nothing about it, nor do I understand it a little bit!

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://link I am getting data from.com);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30); //timeout after 30 seconds
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
$result=curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
// Search The Results From The Starting Site
if( $result )
{
// LOOKING FOR ANYTHING.COM  all .com's
preg_match_all( "(.*)\.com", $result, $output, PREG_SET_ORDER );
 
foreach( $output as $item )

{
// ALL LINKS DISPLAY HERE 
print_r($item);



}

}


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

I come from a C and PERL background.

I seem to have trouble finding how to do this easily.  What is the PERL equivalent of:

$var =~ s/^\+//g;    // remove a plus from the beginning, and from the entire string.

Thanks.
