Convert html to xml php

I would update the old tags with something like this,

$field = preg_replace['/\]+][?/', '', $field];

You can see it here

Using a negative lookbehind we can match all unclosed img tags, capture the "guts" in each one, and then replace it with a closed tag.

• \]+] capture anything that is not a >
• [? negative lookbehind, match the ending > if not preceded by a /, ie. matches > not />

So given a tag like this

it will capture \1, [{}to show spacing is captured]

 { alt="" height="239" src="//example.com/image.png" width="272"}

Then we simply replace the with a /> and put the "guts" back in with \1

And our tag is now closed

This could be expanded with another capture group and a list of tags like this:

$field = preg_replace['/\]*][?/', '', $field];

And now it will match
and replace it with
as well as the img tag. All the while ignoring closed tags like this:

See this one here

So, it's not impossible.

I feel obligated to mention, that you should always export a backup of the table before doing any changes of this sort of scope. That way you can be sure if something is wrong you have a safety net.
