Hi,
I am using cakephp. And I have textarea field where users paste data, I using tinymce plugin to format text. I have warned users not to enter telephone number or email address inside the textarea. But, I dont want to take chances.
Is there a way I can extract the telephone number and email from textarea and replace it something like [email protected]..
I appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Here's something off the top of my head for replacing the e-mail address with hidden:
$str = "My e-mail is [email protected] Contact me for more details";
$str = preg_replace("/([a-zA-Z0-9\._]+)(@[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+)/", "hidden\\2", $str);
print($str);
The e-mail regex is not the best, but it's something that works for your example. You can get more interesting regexes (emails and phone numbers) at http://www.regexlib.com/ and use them with a simple preg_replace.
You could:
$string = "[email protected]";
$parts = explode("@",$string);
\\$parts[0] contains the local part
\\$parts[1] contains the domain.
Keep in mind that, (even though it is not usual), the format defined by RFC 822 allows the "@" symbol to appear within quotation marks. This means: "bl@bla"@blablabla.com is technically correct.
this javascriptcode should do the job:
var content = editor.getContent({format:'text'});
content.replace("/([a-zA-Z0-9\._]+)(@[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+)/", "[email protected]");
editor.setContent(content); //you may alternatively choose to save it to a database
