HtmlSpecialChar s()

[SoulSniper]

I'm working on a modification to a popular blog script, the
modification is for putting source code into a post for the world to
see. The idea is exactly the same as putting code into a post on a
phpBB2 forum. When posting code it has to be between

 and
 

. The text ends up in a nice looking table making for easy
reading.

The problem I have is that I want the text between

 and 

to have htmlspecialchar s() run on it before it is returned, however I
cannot figure out how to go about this.

The function currently looks like this:

// Function : CodeParse
// Description : Searches for

 and 

and replaces them
// Arguments : $input - The text to work on
// Returns : The replaced text
// Author : SoulSniper
// Last Change : 2004-15-19

function CodeParse($inpu t){

$before = array("

", "

");
$after = array('</span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1"
cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"> <tr><td><span
class="small">< b>Code/Quote:</b></span></td></tr><tr><td
class="code">', '</td></tr></table><span class="blog_bod y">');
$return = str_replace($be fore, $after, $input);

return $return;
}

Before anyone mentions I know the text in $after is not escaped, when
I escaped it all the \'s appeared in the resulting html code so when I
unescaped them it worked fine..

Help anyone?

Bobo the Clown said it's regular expression time!

function __EscapeCode__( $m) {
return '</span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1"
cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"> <tr><td><span
class="small">< b>Code/Quote:</b></span></td></tr><tr><td
class="code">'
. htmlspecialchar s($m[1])
. '</td></tr></table><span class="blog_bod y">';
}

function CodeParse($inpu t) {
error_reporting (E_ALL);
return preg_replace_ca llback('/\[CODE\](.*?)\[\/CODE\]/s',
'__EscapeCode__ ', $input);
}

Wow thanks!! It worked first time :)

You got to use Regular Expression!

function CodeParse($inpu t){
if(ereg('^(.*)\[CODE\](.*)\[\/CODE\](.*)$', $input, $arr)) {
$return = $arr[1].'</span><table width="90%" cellspacing="1"
cellpadding="3" border="0" align="center"> <tr><td>
<span class="small">< b>Code/Quote:</b></span></td>
</tr><tr><td class="code">'. htmlspecialchar s($arr[2]).'
</td></tr></table><span class="blog_bod y">'.$arr[3];
}
return $return;
}
