    Please help me with PREG_MATCH

    Hi all,

    I need a help to write a simple preg_match.
    Imagine, I've got like 5kb of text where one part of the text always

    starts with: [quote:129beec63 7]
    and ends with: [/quote:129beec63 7]

    Number after "[quote:" is always different and changing its length.

    I need to parse this and display it using different color.
    Just so, when I display the text, people could figure out where the
    quotation starts and ends.

    Could someone please help me with it?
    Thanks a lot. Every help is very appreciated and helps me a lot.

    Joe

      Do you want to echo the literal text: [quote etc] or what's between the
      quote tags ?

              I assumed the number is a hexadecimal number.

              <?php
              $text = 'before [quote:1abc08f] middle [/quote:1abc08f] after';

              $rx = '/\[quote:([0-9a-fA-f]+)\](.*)\[\/quote:\1\]/';
              $text2 = preg_replace($r x, '***\2***', $text);

              echo $text, "\n";
              echo $text2, "\n";
              ?>
              [color=blue]

              Replace the "***" with whatever you prefer.
