what's up in this cell	and this one

more shit HERE; // a function that breaks up a string and performs nl2br() only on parts outside of certain tags. function smartnl2br($string) { if(!is_string($string)) return ""; $tagorder = array(array("table", false), array("td", true), array("th", true), array("style", false), array("pre", false)); // add any other tags you can think of. the booleans accompanying each tag specify whether to nl2br() inside that tag. $work = array(array($string, true)); // have an array of arrays of strings and booleans. the booleans will determine whether we nl2br() each piece. foreach($tagorder as $tag) // step through each untouchable tag { foreach($work as $key => $str) // step through each piece of the string so far. we need the key so we can splice in the broken-up pieces later. { $pieces = preg_split("/(<{$tag[0]}[^>]*>.*?<\/{$tag[0]}>)/is", $str[0], -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE); // split the string up into pieces surrounded by $tag and pieces not surrounded. if(count($pieces) > 1) // if count is 1, we didn't split it. no need to do more work. { $splice = array(); // make a little array to replace the original element foreach($pieces as $piece) // now step through the preg_split pieces and fill $splice with the appropriate values { if(preg_match("/^<{$tag[0]}[^>]*>.*<\/{$tag[0]}>$/is", $piece)) $splice[] = array($piece, $tag[1]); else $splice[] = array($piece, $str[1]); } array_splice($work, $key, 1, $splice); // now splice in the little array where there used to be just the one element } } } $output = ""; // start building an output string foreach($work as $piece) // step through the completed array { if($piece[1]) $output .= nl2br($piece[0]); else $output .= $piece[0]; } return $output; } echo smartnl2br($test); ?>
