PHP Help
I would like to write a simple plugin to turn the first <td> of all <table> tags in an html page into a <th>. I could manage this pretty easily with Javascript DOM – but I would prefer to do it in PHP for accessibility reasons. The plugin part is pretty easy, what I am having trouble with is the string/replace stuff – is there no simple/elegant way to do something like this in PHP?

I found this badboy:
<code>
$pattern = ‘/(<(?:[<>]+(?:”[”]*”|\’[^\’]*\’)?)+>)/’;
$html_array = preg_split($pattern, trim($buffer), -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE | PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
</code>
Traversing an array isn’t as easy as DOM, but it’s not too hard now either…

What do you mean? I am using ob_start and parsing the buffer. The problem was finding tables, rows and cells in a failsafe way…
