small hint regarding cleaner.php

[antiekeradio]

Hello,

after the import (with which Marco van H. has helped us out superbly!! thumbs up mate )

I was cleaning up some of the code pieces from the old board layout.

Unfortunately there was a sneaky thing in there, some of the strings I want to replace have the " character in them.

example; I would like to replace all instances of <font color="0000ff"> with the appropriate vB code.

fill this in in the array in cleaner.php: (line 51 and further)

$replacer = array(
   "<font color="0000ff">" => "[COLOR=blue]",

due to the ", the first part of the array becomes: "<font color="

and afterwards there is another unexpected ".

result:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting ')' in /var/xirictrl/hosted/www/volvo300club/volvo300club.nl/forum/impex/tools/cleaner.php on line 51

After some experimenting I figured php has a way to distinguish between 'code " ' and 'text " '

I tried the following array as well:

 "<font color=/"0000ff/">" => "[COLOR=blue]",

but that didn't work.

consulted PHP manual, finally found out that i was using the wrong slash.

so... this is what worked for me:

 "<font color=\"0000ff\">" => "[COLOR=blue]",

so, the hint is, if you have to replace " s in your text, include a trailing backslash \ to tell php its not the end of the code piece.

You would need to either escape the embedded quotes (with a backslash \), or use single quotes around the string:

 '<font color="0000ff">' => "[color=blue]",
