PHP List,
In the code below, I want to take the text within $content, and change
every instance of [h3] into <h3>, and every instance of [/h3] into
</h3>. And then do the same for [em], [/em], [strong], and so on.
However, this code does absolutely nothing to the text stored in content:
$tags = array ("h3", "em", "strong", "hr");
$content = preg_replace("[" . $tags . "]", "<" . $tags . ">", $content);
$content = preg_replace("[/" . $tags . "]", "</" . $tags . ">", $content);
Clearly I've either misunderstood the use of preg_replace(), or regular
expressions, or arrays, despite having looked them up in the PHP online
manual.
I also tried str_replace(), but predictably that did not help. As far as
I understand it, it does not accept arrays.
What am I doing wrong in the above code?
And can the two preg_replace() commands be achieved in one line?
Thank you for any advice.
