[PHP] Re: Regular Expression Problem and PHP 4 (urgent)

[Ross Nielsen]

Actually I didn't pose my question correctly.
I also needed to grep out the "Link" for use in JS during the process.
I wrapped this in a class file and here is the entry that I ended up with.
Thanks for the assist though...
======================================================
function getPL($plric)
  {
    //variable set to add at the end of the RIC if it's a stock not a page
   $temp = "B2";
    //find out if it's a stock by query for the period in the RIC
   if (eregi("\.", $plric))
   {
    //add B2 if it's a stock
    $plric = $plric + $temp;
   }
    //the data comes out of the server pipe delimited
   $pages = split("\|",`/mdsweb/cgi-bin/Snap_Pages -s 000.000.000.00 -p
34927 -r $plric`);

   $a=0;
   while ($pages[$a] != "")
   {
    $pages[$a] = htmlentities($pages[$a]);
    //replace spaces with  
    $pages[$a] = str_replace(" ", " ", $pages[$a]);
    //find the left angle brackets
    $a1 = spliti("<", $pages[$a]);
    $b=0;
    while ($a1[$b] != "")
    {
    //if the resulting data has a right angle bracket....
     if (eregi("&gt", $a1[$b]))
     {
      $a2 = spliti(">", $a1[$b]);
      if (eregi("\.", $a2[0]))
      {
       echo "<a class='small'
href='http://server/php/QST/PageTest.php?plric=";;
        //this would be the raw RIC
       echo $a2[0],$tag;
        //put back the left angle bracket in the link
       echo "'>&lt;";
       echo $a2[0];
        //put back the right angle bracket in the link
       echo "&gt;</a>";
       $c=1;
       //echo the link itself
        while ($a2[$c])
       {
        echo $a2[$c];
        $c++;
       }
      }
      else
      {
       echo "<a class='small'
href='http://server/php/QST/PageTest.php?plric=";;
        //this would be a Page request not a RIC
       echo $a2[0];
       echo "'>";
       echo $a2[0];
       echo "</a>";
       $c=1;
       while ($a2[$c])
       {
        echo $a2[$c];
        $c++;
       }
      }
     }
     else
     {
      echo $a1[$b];
     }
    $b++;
    }
   echo "<br>";
   $a++;
   }
  }
