Searching for specific patern
I have a string of text with custom tags ebmedded into:
-Chose country: [COLOR=”RoyalBlue”]<dropdown countries=”usa,uk,canada”>
What do I need to convert countries entries into html elements like:
<select>
<option value=”usa”>usa</option>
<option value=”uk”>uk</option>
<option value=”uk”>uk</option>
…
regular expressions,for loop or something else?

function myReplace($matches)
{
$html = "<select name='" . htmlspecialchars($matches[1]) . "'>n";
$opts = explode(',', $matches[2]);
foreach($opts as $opt)
{
$html .= "<option>$opt</option>n";
}
$html .= "</select>n";
return $html;
}
$regexp = '#<dropdown ([^=]+)=["']([^"']+)["']>#';
$text = '-Chose country: <dropdown countries="usa,uk,canada">';
$text = preg_replace_callback($regexp, 'myReplace', $text);
