Help with preg_replace

Regex Question

[discolando]

Hello all,

Could someone help me craft a regex to use in a preg_replace()?

What I need is a regex to escape all quotes that lie between every .?> and <? in a page. So, given:

<? ..?>
<form method="post">
<input type="text" name="text" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
<? ..?>

I need to replace that with:

<? ..?>
<form method=\"post\">
<input type=\"text\" name=\"text\" />
<input type=\"submit\" value=\"submit\" />
</form>
<? ..?>

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like you will want to use some of the built object buffering functions in PHP.

Take a look at: [us2.php.net...]

I'm not sure if you HAVE to use the <? ..?> but it seems a little hackish. This is possibly the correct way to accomplish what
you're trying to do.

Hmmm... I'm not sure what you're getting at. Maybe we're not talking about the same thing. :)

Basically, all I need is a regex that will escape all quotes between every?> and <? that I can use in a preg_replace().

Any magicians out there?

You can make your life easier by using heredoc syntax.
Then use HTML quotes.
with EOD you do not need to start and end a HTML block with " ".
but surround your block with EOD as follow:
<<<EOD
<div align="center">
<a href="qwert">aaaa</a>
etc.... and end it with
EOD;

Be sure that first and last EODs starts and ends on a new line.

if you are only looking about solving a quote problem that should do it.
