replace <strong> and </strong> to <b></b> with php

[Pluda]

hello,

i have to work with html formated text in one textArea, but need to transform certain tags to the ones flash can correctly read

I was trying with this, for strong tag, but no luck

Code:

$tag_strong = array('<strong>', '<\/strong>');
$bold = array('<B>', '</B>');
for ($i=0; $i<count($tag_strong); $i++) {
$a_procurar[$i] = "/".$tag_strong[$i]."/";
$valor = @preg_replace($a_procurar[$i], $bold[$i], $valor);
};

how can i do this?, or even better, how to have an array of what to replace and a kind of regex to do the replacement?

hope you can help me,

thanks

hello,

i've made it work, but still need some help

searching the net doesn't seem to solve this problem


how do I make a regex to match

<div(SOME TEXT HERE LIKE PER EXAMPLE align = "left") PLUS >

?

if I can manage this, I can then replace <div align = "left"> to <text align = "left"> and flash is able to read the html formated text


thanks,
