Take out a section of code.

Hi i want to take out a section of this code

<div><object width="425" height="335"><param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2os6Y9gOZik6r4Az7"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2os6Y9gOZik6r4Az7" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="334" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br /><b><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xng1d_basketball">-Basketball</a></b><br /><i>Uploaded by <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/chentemama">chentemama</a></i></div>

Code (markup):

I want to take out this part:

http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2os6Y9gOZik6r4Az7

Code (markup):

and on both ends wrap it with a tag so it looks like:

<wrap>http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2os6Y9gOZik6r4Az7</wrap>

Code (markup):

Thanks, im new to php and cant figure it out for the life of me.

 

Something like this should work:

$string = 'your initial string';
$term = 'http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2os6Y9gOZik6r4Az7';
$term2 = '<wrap>http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2os6Y9gOZik6r4Az7</wrap>';
$string = str_replace($term, $term2, $string);

Code (markup):

This will return the modified initial content with <wrap>http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2os6Y9gOZik6r4Az7</wrap> . Or do you need the link only ?

 

the contents of the embed code is always changing so this last part 2os6Y9gOZik6r4Az7 is always different. I want the php to somehow find it and wrap it. Does that makes sense?

 

Sorry I read it wrong, I have a bit of work to do but I'll be back later and post some code. Yes it can be done.

 

OK here goes :
in order to get the content every time you'll need to use a regular expression. I am not the best when it comes to it but :

<?php
$term = '<div><object width="425" height="335"><param name="movie" value="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2os6Y9gOZik6r4Az7"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.dailymotion.com/swf/2os6Y9gOZik6r4Az7" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="334" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br /><b><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xng1d_basketball">-Basketball</a></b><br /><i>Uploaded by <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/chentemama">chentemama</a></i></div>';

preg_match('/value=\"(.*?)"/',$term, $matches);
$match=$matches[1];
echo $match;

?>

Code (markup):

Should do the trick Now you have the url value to wrap every time

 

thanks so much rep added.
