replace all “foo” between ()

Hello,

I tried to use regex to replace all foo string between the () which between style=" and "

Here’s an example :

blah blah foo blah style="foo text blah (foo and blah foo)"

it should be replaced to be :

blah blah foo blah style="foo text blah (bar and blah bar)"

i tried to use this code but it dont working .

do {
  $code = preg_replace('/(style\=\"[^)]*)left(?=[^()]*\))([^)]*\")/U', '\1tempvalue\3', $code, -1, $count);
} while($count != 0);

then im trying to using foreach to get the results,, then replace it normally using preg_replace .

i wish to find the answer 🙂 ,, thank you.

Works on your string, might need modifying a bit to work in all circumstances…

echo preg_replace_callback('/style="(.*)(\(.+\))"/',create_function(
   '$matches',
    'return "style=\"" . $matches[1] . preg_replace("/foo/","bar",$matches[2]) . "\"";'
),'blah blah foo blah style="foo text blah (foo and blah foo)"');
