Replacing dynamically generated content

Hi.

There are some embedded videos. On a certain template file i'd like to display the videos in a different size. 300x225 -> 600x400

Here's an example where the changes have to be done:

PHP Code:


			
<div class="entry"> 



<span class="vvqbox vvqvimeo" style="width:300px;height:225px;"><span id="vvq-35-vimeo-1"><ahref="http://www.vimeo.com/3846698">http://www.vimeo.com/3846698</a></span></span> 



<script type="text/javascript"> 

    swfobject.embedSWF("http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf", "vvq-35-vimeo-1", "300", "225", "9", vvqexpressinstall, { "wmode": "opaque", "allowfullscreen": "true", "server": "www.vimeo.com", "clip_id": "3846698", "show_portrait": "0", "show_title": "0", "show_byline": "0", "fullscreen": "1", "color": "FFFFFF" }, vvqparams, vvqattributes); 

</script> 



</div>

The problem is, that everything between <div class="entry"> and </div> is allways different.

I guess the theory is like this:

1. Search between <div class="entry"> and </div> for 300 and 225
2. Replace every 300 with 600 and every 225 with 400.

I stumbled accross preg_replace and str_replace etc., read the manuals, read tons of other articles and stuff, but did not came up with a sollution.

Im absolutely new to php and only familiar with html and css.
Please help! :)

Thank you!

Just make them variables.

width:300px;height:225px

width:${width}px;height:${height}px

Thanks :) but i do not get it. :(

Do you mean, that i should change the code inside the div?
I can't do that since it's generated automatically, that's why i search for a way to change the values afterwards.

Oh I see, then it sounds like you'll have to create a custom function to look for those attributes...

How do you even know when the side should be different. If each pageload is the same or different, can't you just pass the correct size onto 2 variables and echo them there?

Else, I advise Javascript if it has to be loaded when a user performs an action.
