Str_Replace question for a hook in footer (Page 1 of 2)

<p id="copyright"><?php echo sprintf($lang_common['Powered by'], '<a href="http://punbb.informer.com/">PunBB</a>'.($forum_config['o_show_version'] == '1' ? ' '.$forum_config['o_cur_version'] : '')); ?></p>

  <p id="copyright"><?php echo sprintf($lang_common['Powered by'], '<a href="http://punbb.informer.com/"><img src="'.$ext_info['path'].'/img/punbb.png" alt="PunBB" width="16" height="16" border="0"></a>')?>
</p>

in a nutshell i want to replace red with green

hm thats not working my end. you dont know if I can use  str_replace  to just overwrite the footer (red) ?

so you'd replace this : (that shows the png and powered by next to powered by punbb )

    <hooks>
        <hook id="ft_about_end"><![CDATA[
?>
    <p id="copyright"><?php echo sprintf($lang_common['Powered by'], '<a href="http://punbb.informer.com/"><img src="'.$ext_info['path'].'/img/punbb.png" alt="PunBB" width="16" height="16" border="0"></a>')?>
</p><?php
    
        ]]></hook>
    </hooks>

with this?

    <hooks>
        <hook id="ft_about_end"><![CDATA[

$tpl_temp = forum_trim(ob_get_contents());
ob_end_clean();
echo str_replace('>PunBB<', '<img src="'.$ext_info['path'].'/img/punbb.png" alt="PunBB" width="16" height="16" border="0"></a>', $tpl_temp);    
        ]]></hook>
    </hooks>

don't leave anything out... step by step

thank you

back again
trying to replace the powered by  with design by in addition to the initial working code
my question : how do i seperate the $lang_common['Powered by']  from the '<a href....>' ?
do i do so with a ,    or  what?  that will mess up the str_replace i guess
input welcome

  <hook id="ft_about_end"><![CDATA[

$tpl_temp = forum_trim(ob_get_contents());
ob_end_clean();
echo str_replace($lang_common['Powered by']'<a href="http://punbb.informer.com/">PunBB</a>', $lang_common['Design by'] '<a href="http://keydogbb.info"><img src="'.$ext_info['path'].'/img/info.png" alt="PunBB" width="16" height="16" border="0"></a>', $tpl_temp);   
        ]]></hook>

PS: i have added in my lang_common design by .... not that you think that's causing error

idea will be at end to have extension that says:

Powered by []   
Design by []

or something like  Code:[] Design:[]

for the moment i'm just trying to get the powered by replaced though

thanks.

thx star!
bestest fastest coder out there

'Design by' doesn't exist...

It's not finding it...

Maybe I'm not clearing buffer properly?
At the moment it's telling me it can't find 'Design By'  line I added to lang  common.php - which is strange, as I am 100% sure it is in there and that I am uploading correct file.

If I change

'Powered by'    -->   'Powered by ....'

to

'Powered by'    --->  'Design by ....'

it immediately picks up the change in my footer output

but if I try calling on

'Design by'       --->  'Design by ... '

I get error message

Index Design by      not found etc.....

I don't get it.

Can you add additional things to lang common.php like that or am I missing something?

And the PHP Manual which I looked at in this case for this function doesn't do much to clarify taken into account buffer etc.

If you or other dev, coder can spot problem I' appreciate....

Thanks.

My extension code 1:1 - aswell as my common.php

no change.

no nothing. shows clean page.

if(!isset($lang_common['Design by'])) die("It's not set");
$lang_common['Design by'] = 'Design by';
        ]]></hook>
