Thread: Replace words on a php page

Can someone help me, i want a code that will automatically change words on the page like for example if i have kewl i want to be able 2 change all the words kewl to fool. I want to do something like that and it will replace on the kewls on the page and replace them as fool.

So can someone help, Thank You

I have a program that does that.. but not a CODE. Not sure what purpose you want that done for.. but if you want something that changes each time its viewed try looking for "print praise" or a java script

You need to read the page code and then replace the original words.

Usually you work like this:

<?
$url = "http://www.yourdomain.com/originalpage.html"; // The original page
$string = file_get_contents($url);
$pattern = " kewl ";
$replacement = " fool ";
$string = str_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);
// At this point ALL occurences of the word "kewl" are replaced
echo $string; // This will output the new page to the browser.
?>

I tried to replace " Link#1 " with " Play " and saved it in a php file but it is not working.any help? (you can find Link#1 by clicking on a game )

<?

$url = "http://www.livescorehunter.com/Live-Streaming-Video/P2P-Links/"; // The original page

$string = file_get_contents($url);
$pattern = " Link#1 ";
$replacement = " Play ";
$string = str_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);
// At this point ALL occurences of the word "kewl" are replaced
echo $string; // This will output the new page to the browser.
?>

These are Joomla pages, with content directly taken from the database. It can't work with such pages.

ah thanks.yes they are joomla Pages but what i dont understand is what do you mean by " with content directly taken from the database " ? they add Links from the database?

Joomla content is generated directly from content stored in the database.
It is output to the browser at the moment of request. So simply fix your page to have the wording / linking you want.
