Re: Find and replace substr outside HTML tags only

You're misunderstanding me, or I'm misunderstanding you :)
I'm having a hard to figuring out how to do that only in text nodes of the HTML, not inside tags. For instance if I want to hilite the word "img" I do not want it to replace all the image tags.

Find and replace substr outside HTML tags only

I'm trying to highlight certain keywords in an HTML string. The general approach is to replace [substr] with <span class="hilite">[substr]</span>. However I'm having a hard to figuring out how to do that only in text nodes of the HTML, not inside tags. For instance if I want to hilite the ...

Re: HELP : this code work in localhost but not in my web page

Sorry to dig up this ancient thread, but I was searching for a way to highlight words in an HTML page and came across this. After some tinkering I came to the conclusion that all you really need is this:   // $terms is an array of words to highlight, so you can highlight more than one word // $body ...

Well, assuming it was simple to control cron jobs from PHP, I wouldn't consider it being more complicated, rather done correctly and efficiently. However, based on my research, it doesn't look like it's an option. So I guess running a cron job every minute or so sounds like my final answer. Thanks a...

Yes, cron job looks what I need, thanks. Now the question is, can I start cron jobs via a PHP script? In this way I would like to do something like this: 1) Master cron job runs every 24 hours, and calls PHP script eventSchedule.php 2) eventSchedule.php does a database lookup for all events that day...

Event based email reminder

How would I go about making a system that sends automatic event based email reminders? My situation is a weekly online meeting, and I want to automatically send out an email reminder to all registered emails an hour before the event starts. I could make a PHP script which allows me to manually hit i...

htmlentities() giving strange results...

I'm trying to use the htmlentities() function but finding that many characters get very strange results. For instance, the character « does not get converted to simply &laquo; , but rather &Acirc;&laquo; . Some characters after conversion are even worse -- for instance, the character ‹ c...

Anything short of that may be a good indicator, but that's all. That's exactly what I'm lookin' for, homie: a good indication of the existence of an email address without sending an email confirmation. At any rate, I found what I was looking for: http://us2.php.net/fsockopen If you scroll down near...

Thanks phpBuddy, However, if I follow correctly, that is only checking to make sure the domain exists and if it is a mail server. That's a good step, but what I actually want to do is go one step further and attempt to verify the existence of a specific email with that server. I am on a Unix box, btw.

Maybe I didn't explain it correctly or else I don't understand what you are implying: 1) I do not want to send an email at all. I want to determine if an email address is a real address. 2) I know how to send an email, but I don't know how to determine if the server rejected or accepted the email --...

Check existence of email address?

I'm wondering how I might go about checking to see if a user supplied email address exists. In other words, I've already checked to make sure it's a valid email address, now I want to go a step further and attempt to verify the email address' existence with the supplied domain. For instance, the use...
