Project Detail

Description

1. We need a regular expression to split the html content into multiple pages (for pagination) and store them in PHP array. (please check the html example bellow)
The end of the "page" is described with the following tag: <hr class=”some-pagebreak” />

The RegEx should find this tags and return the HTML "page sections" into a PHP array.

2. Regular expression to extract a section of text from a tag. The Regexes is needed in Javascript and PHP.
This is the sample scenario where we require the Regex to work:
Javascript:
- Function to wrap selected html in the following tag: ‘<span class=”pragma-teaser”>’ and ‘</span>’. Please check the html example bellow.
- CONDITION: There should be only one paragraph that is embedded in the above mentioned span tag . We need another Regex function that will search for an instance of this tag and if it finds it it should remove it from that paragraph an apply it to the selected html.

- We also need Regex for stripping the ‘<span class=”pragma-teaser”>’ and ‘</span>’ tags if we want to remove teaser. So we need another RegEx that will remove this tag and leave the inner HTML untouched.
- PHP:
Extract the html content contained in ‘<p class=”pragma-teaser”>’ and ‘</p>’ for
Remove ‘<p class=”pragma-teaser”>’ and ‘</p>’ when displaying the full article
