php code to replace the width and height of any html tag using php and regular expression.<\/p>\n

i had a youtube listing for the admin where i display 10 per page but usually the object tag width and height will be around 400×350 approximately.
\nbut i want to show the youtube video small in the admin section so that it will match the size of each row which will have edit, delete buttons…
\nhere i wished the width and height to be around 100×80. <\/p>\n

so when i display the youtube object tag code from the data base i used the following regular expression to replace the original width and height with my preferred value.<\/p>\n

and here is the code to do the width and height replacement. it works for me and hope for you too…<\/p>\n

\r\n$pattern = \"\/height=\\\"[0-9]*\\\"\/\";\r\n$string = preg_replace($pattern, \"height='120'\", $rs['url']);\r\n$pattern = \"\/width=\\\"[0-9]*\\\"\/\";\r\n$string = preg_replace($pattern, \"width='200'\", $string);\r\necho $string;\r\n<\/pre>\n
we have another alternate for the above …<\/p>\n
 you can write the above code in one line by using alternation<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\n$pattern = '\/(width|height)=\"[0-9]*\"\/i';\r\n\/\/\r\n<\/pre>\n
you can use single-quotes instead of double-quotes to reduce the need to escape characters like double-quotes and backslashes.<\/p>\n
the input was like this…<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/param>\r\n<\/param>\r\n<\/param>\r\n<\/embed><\/object> \r\n<\/pre>\n
and the output will be like this…<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/param>\r\n<\/param>\r\n<\/param>\r\n<\/embed><\/object> \r\n<\/pre>\n
there are two width and height attributes which got replaced… one is in the first line and next is for the embed tab inside.<\/p>\n
