regular expression : {link}

[gehegeradeaus]

Can someone help me to make a regular expression for this sort of
replacement :

text with {link:pagehref}a link{/link}.

replace to ->

text with <a href="pagehref">a link</a>

I tried several things but nothing seems to work... e.g.

$value=preg_replace("/\{link\:(.+?)\}(.+?)\{\/link\}/s","<a href=\"$1\"
target=\"_blank\">$2</a>",$value);

Thanks in advance!

Try this pattern.
"/\{link\:(.*)\}(.*)\{\/link\}\s/"
rest of the code looks fine.

You can also have a look at the comments below preg-replace Description
at www.php.net. There is a lot of usefull informations how to use it,

Try this pattern.
"/\{link\:(.*)\}(.*)\{\/link\}\s/"
rest of the code looks fine.

The problem is that {link:(.*)} matches to the entire "{link:pagehref}a
link{/link}", it reaches the last occurance of } untill stops. Instead of .*
the pattern should be (^})* ie. match anything but }, then it should stop at
the first } which closes the {link} pseudotag.
something like:

"/\{link\:((^})*)\}(^{*)\{\/link\}\s/"

Unfortunately still nothing, I tried both of the solutions above... but
the replacement doesn't work :

I don't think I can use str_replace in this case, because it is a
dynamic tag.

I tried this with preg_match:

/{link:([^}]*)}([^{]*){\/link}/

result:
Array (
[0] ={link:pagehref}a link{/link}
[1] =pagehref
[2] =a link
)

That should do it... modify it to suit your needs
