Okay, this is just very general info to help point you in the right direction, but, here are some functions you'll probably need to accomplish this:
* Regular Expressions * pregi() and/or eregi() * explode() and implode() * str_replace() Regular expressions will probably be the most important part of doing what you need to do. If you don't already know how they work, they are hard to grasp at first, but, very useful once you understand their purpose.
