PHP - Code In Pre Tags Cuts Off

Hi,

bit stuck on how to find and replace "<" and ">" with "&lt;" and  "&gt;". I basically have a database record that outputs to screen and I need the code in the <code> tags to be rendered to the screen. I therefore need it to go through the whole array variable from the db and change the symbols just inside the code tags. Please be aware that the code tags might happen more than once

here's an example below

Code: [Select]
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<code>
<h1>hello</h1>
</code>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<code>
<h1>hello</h1>
</code>

the desired output would be:

<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<code>
&lt;h1&gt;hello&lt;/h1
</code>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah</p>
<code>
&lt;h1&gt;hello&lt;/h1
</code>

help on this would be great

Cheers

Hi guys, i have not started this as of yet, however i will be given a project to make a micro-blogging website similar to that of Twitter or Facebook but obviously on a much smaller scale

I have been searching on google however i have not found anything. Maybe i haven't been using the right words in my query, not sure :-/

I have been trying to do some research, however i can't seem to find how to incorporate @ tags found in Twitter / Facebook.
e.g. If i want to tag a person in a Status Update:
Hey @John Smith, Football in the park at 3pm?

If anyone is able to help i would be grateful

Thank You   

I have just been given some code that is live on a web site. I pulled it down to my local linux machine and the php will not run. I have worked out the issue
the php tags are <? scripting ?> it is missing the php.

I have a couple of questions how do I get my local linux  machine get <? scripting ?>   this to work and I have a lot of code that is like this and I am sure
that it is no longer secure is this right?

How does PHP continuity exist in different php tags?
for example, if i connect to a database in a header,
and close the tag,
can I still work off of the same database in another tag?

I found this code on a website:

<?php

Hi Guys

Whats the easiest way to store tags in a database from a php form?

If I have a text field called tags, and each tag is comma seperated how do I process the data?

I have a table called tags, with 3 fields, tag_id, post_id and tag

Basically how would I basically turn this input:

a tag, b tag, c tag from a form field to
tag_id cat_id tag 1 dont worry about me, i can work this out! tag a 2 dont worry about me, i can work this out! tag b 3 dont worry about me, i can work this out! tag c
Many Thanks

Im using this code right here for to explode titles in my search engine into individual click-able tags
            <?php

            $tobeOmitted=array('stuff');
            $tagss = explode(" ", str_replace('-', ' ', $title1));
            foreach( $tagss as $key => $value){
            if(!in_array($value,$tobeOmitted))
            echo "<a href='/search.php?query=$value&amp;search=1' target='rel' title='View search results in new window'> $value</a>";
 }           } ?>

Is there a way I can limit the number of tags for each title to 3?

I dont want over 100 links on my page because it looks bad in google so I am trying to cut down some pages that have up to 200 links because of long titles and this would cut things down drastically. Any help is appreciated and thank you.

I have a string $str that contains a web page information. it has multiple title tags [title][/title] within it. How do I get the contents within all these title tags

thanks

I am working on a poject, where the search functions doesnt work as the user wishes. The coding is technically correct, but the idea behind it is wrong.

Basically at the moment, the script receives this:

thesite.com/search.php?q=xxxx&Submit=Search

The search script then runs a database query to search the tag coloumn, looking for like $q. This would work, however the structure of the coloumn is tag1, tag2, tag3, tag4.

So my resolutions is this so far:

I explode the $q variable, via the + (if you search more than one term "thesite.com/search.php?q=search+stuff&Submit=Search"

I then count the elements in the array and write the database function accordingly

Code: [Select]
$var = @$_GET['q'] ;
$trimmed = trim($var);

$searchpieces = explode("+", $trimmed);

$dbquery="";

$count = count($searchpieces);

for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
if($i == 0){$dbquery.="tags = $searchpieces[$i]";}
elseif($i > 0){$dbquery.=" OR tags = $searchpieces[$i]";}
}

So my database query is

        $sql = "select * from gallery where $dbquery order by date DESC " . $limit;

so my question is this.. how to i eplode the tags database coloumn, so my datase query an look at each tag fro "tag1, tag2, tag3" as "tag1" "tag2" "tag3"

I am not even sure if this is possible, but its the system that is already in place.

The problem with the current system, is because the pictures have alot of tags and the database query is $like $q, it just shows all images in the database as the result

I am tweaking a function which takes data that was entered into a Form TextArea and wraps each paragraph with <p></p> tags so things are properly marked up.

It seems to be working okay, except for two annoying things...

1.) When I go to View ---> Source, I do NOT want to see paragraph after paragraph all on the same line.

I tried adding a \n into the preg_replace but it is adding an extra carriage return in the output.


2.) Right now, if my code sees 2 \n's it will convert that to "</ p><p>", which is fine.  However it does the same thing if there are 20 \n's which is technically wrong, because maybe someone wanted the extra 18 carriage returns between their paragraphs?!

For example, in the line below "I decided to start..." that line should get wrapped in <p></p> and then there should be a <br /><br /> because the User added two *extra* carriage returns, and then the next line "My boss is a jerk..." should get wrapped in <p></p> because it is also a paragraph.

I'm sure this one is impossible to do, but the end goal is simple...

Regardless of how many carriage returns there are between blocks of text, the blocks of text should first get wrapped in <p> </p> but then any additional line spacing should be preserved.

Hope that makes sense?!

Here is the code I am working with...

$text="I decided to start my own business because I want to be my own boss!



My boss is a jerk and never appreciates anything that I do for him, so why put up with the abuse?!  He takes me for granted and doesn't appreciate all of my talents.

Running my own business will give me a chance to do things as I see fit...

Line One
Line Two
Line Three
Line Four



Line Eight";


$text2 = htmlentities($text, ENT_QUOTES);


function nl2p($string, $line_breaks = true) {
// Remove existing HTML formatting to avoid double tags.
//^ $string = str_replace(array('<p>', '</p>', '<br>', '<br/>'), '', $string);

// Replace Carriage Return with Empty String.
// Replace multiple Newlines with closing & opening paragraph tags.
// Replace single Newline with break tag.
if ($line_breaks == true) {
return '<p>'.preg_replace(array("#\r#","#\n{2,}#", "#\n#"), array("","</p><p>", "<br />\n"), $string).'</p>';
}else{
return '<p>'.preg_replace("#\n#", "</p><p>", trim($string)).'</p>';
}
}

echo nl2p($text2, TRUE);


Oh, btw, as you can see, adding a \n after the line break (i.e. "<br />\n") actually added the line break in my Source as I wanted.  It is just when you add a \n in between the paragraphs that my code misbehaves (i.e. "</p>\n<p>").

Can these two problems be fixed??   

Thanks,


Debbie

I wish to have all my products show in an XML for googles product search.

HI,   I'm using; https://github.com/o.../PHP-Pagination   It works on my local test server, but on EC2, short tags are apparently not enabled by default.   The pagination is printing php:

<div class="pagination"><ul class="<?php= implode(' ', $classes) ?>">
<li class="<?php= implode(' ', $classes) ?>"><a href="<?php= ($href) ?>"><?php= ($previous) ?></a></li>
<li class="number active"><a data-pagenumber="<?php= ($current) ?>" href="#"><?php= ($current) ?></a></li>
<li class="number"><a data-pagenumber="<?php= ($current + $x + 1) ?>" href="<?php= ($href) ?>"><?php= ($current + $x + 1) ?></a></li>
<li class="number"><a data-pagenumber="<?php= ($current + $x + 1) ?>" href="<?php= ($href) ?>"><?php= ($current + $x + 1) ?></a></li>
<li class="<?php= implode(' ', $classes) ?>"><a href="<?php= ($href) ?>"><?php= ($next) ?></a></li>

I tried replacing <? with <?php to no avail. Not sure if the fact that one dependency is named "render.inc.php" instead of just ".php" which is causing the issue. Any ideas why apache is doing this? I'd rather not edit the .ini. Thanks..

Hi guys I need to be able to extract (into an array) the content between two tags "<!--" and "-->" in a string ($string).

I have       
$string = "<!--HELLO WORLD-->";
$tags = "/<!--(.*?)--!>/";
         preg_match($tags, $string, $matches);
         return $matches[1];

but it does not seem to work, (no error code, nothing).

Any help much appreciated,
