Hey guys, Modxnooby here again. I just needed some help with a snippet I am creating for a client I am currently working for. Basically my client wants me to create an online changelog editor/reader for a video game they are working on. They want to have the ability to upload there changelog from a local workstation to the server and have the changes display on the front end. Now the file reading I could handle if that was the only thing required, but in this situation they want to have inline tags converted to html tags serverside. For example the changelog might read:
~This is a heading~
|this is a paragraph|
The server needs to search the config line by line and replace each instance of '~' and '|'. So the result would look something like this:
<h2>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
Now, this I have done with regular expressions before. But to make things work perfectly, the client also wants to have tags span multiple lines. For instance:
~This
is
a
heading~
Will change to:
<h2>This is a heading</h2>
I come to you all for advice on what i am doing wrong with my code.
Here's my snippet:
<?php
$temp='';
$filePath = '*path to the file in my file system*';
$fileOpen = fopen($filePath,"r")or die("error");
$pattern = '/^~(.*)~$/';
$replacement = '<h2>\1</h2>';
if (file_exists($filePath)) {
while (!feof($fileOpen)) {
$currline=$temp.fgets($fileOpen);
if (preg_match("/^~(.*)~$/", $currline)) {
echo preg_replace($pattern, $replacement,$currline);
}else{
$temp = $currline;
}
}
}else {
echo "The file $filePath does not exist";
}
