Hi not really cms builder question, more of a php thing.
I have a field in my database "video_ref" that the client can put embed information for videos either from youtube or other sources.
The video will appear in 2 different places at 2 different sizes. The video dimensions in the input code will vary.
What I want is to be able to search the following or similar code looking for all instances of width="whatever" and height="whatever" and replace them with specific dimensions. this I can perform on the different pages requiring different sizes.
typical code returned for <?php echo $vidrecord['video_ref'] ?>would be:
hope this makes sense. any php help would be appreciated!

Hi,
You could try something like this:
You would then replace "height='120'" and "width=''200'" with what ever values you want.
Hope this helps
You could try something like this:
<?php
$heightPattern = "/height=\"[0-9]*\"/";
$widthPattern = "/width=\"[0-9]*\"/";
$vidrecord['video_ref'] = preg_replace($heightPattern, "height='120'", $vidrecord['video_ref']);
$vidrecord['video_ref'] = preg_replace($widthPattern, "width='200'", $vidrecord['video_ref']);
?>You would then replace "height='120'" and "width=''200'" with what ever values you want.
Hope this helps
