I'm trying to do some PHP preg. But it seems to i can't get it to match if i want a string without something in it.
Example:
Hello! My name is [b]Peter Jack[/b]
If Peter Jack is found with his last name, it will NOT match, but if its found "[b]Peter[/b]" it will match.
Anyone who I'm kinda bad at explaining things, comment if there is anything else you need to help me solve this.
Another way I can say it about, is, if i got a link to a website, it will match and do the stuff in the preg_replace, but if the link to the website ends with like .png (an image) it will not match and will not make a link.
example.com/image.png
Will not be matched because it contains .png
example.com/image
Will be matched because it does not contain .png
It's unclear what you want to find. If it's just
[b]Peter[/b]
, then you don't need a regex.If you want to find a single "word" surrounded by BBCode bold tags, use
If you want to find anything within BBCode bold tags as long as it doesn't contain
Jack
, use
