I wish to improve upon my regular expression skills. I am creating a journal object that allows me to post my journals online, while at the same time maintaining nine different levels of privacy. For example, if I give a user Level 3 access, then they would be able to see all parts of my entries marked as Level 3 or below, but nothing above that. Below is an example entry. I'm not sure how to go about doing this. My experience with regular expressions is somewhat limited. I could use a statement like this: ereg("[LEVEL1].*[/LEVEL1]", $Contents, $Match); But if you look at the contents below, you'll see that there are two places where [/LEVEL1] is at, so that statement will mark the entire page as Level 1, rather than just the first sentence, and the last sentence. Plus, that statement won't really work. I need a way to say: Replace [LEVEL1].*[/LEVEL1] with ###LEVEL1### and return the contents into an array for me. That way, in the second phase of parsing, I can either put the string back into the page at exactly the same point, or I can put "Level 1 Access Required - Log In" instead. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
