read in webpage and modify..

Hey guys....
I tried to make one of those silly webpage translators... it reads in the
page, and applys a modification to all text not in HTML tags.
What I wanted to go was add "ong" after every consonant (don't ask why! lol)

What I found was that when I added "ong", the same rule was applied to the
"ong" I just added, giving "onongononongong" for example......

What I need, is something which will do this, for example:

Turn "hello" into "hongelonglongo"

Any ideas?

<?php
$str = "You could use preg_replace, something like the following:";
print preg_replace('/([bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyz])/i', '$1ong', $str);

I noticed that Message-ID:
<luvQd.10383$D34.9373@newssvr12.news.prodigy.com> from grinder contained
the following:

>What I need, is something which will do this, for example:
>

<?php
$string="hello world";
$output="";

for($i=0;$i<strlen($string);$i++){
switch ($string{$i}) {
//add all consonants here...I've just done a few
case "d":
$output.="dong";
break;
case "h":
$output.="hong";
break;
case "l":
$output.="long";
break;
case "w":
$output.="wong";
break;
case "r":
$output.="rong";
break;
default:
$output.=$string{$i};
break;
}

}
print $output;
?>

Memo to self: Make solid effort to learn regex.

That's awesome thanks!
I'd started using strtr with an array of consonants.... it works, but I'll
try the regex, doing it in one line appeals!!!
NOW........
I'm trying to read a webpage into a variable using fsockopen, ignore the
tags and process using the above!
Any ideas on that?

You guys rock!

OK I have that part going.
I have it reading in a web page and translating it... I have a really crap
way of detecting HTML tags and ignoring them....
The problem now, is if the page uses relative paths for their images, my
script thinks it should pull the images from my server, and not theirs... so
what I need to do , is change :
img src="/images/whatever.gif" into..
img src=http://whatever.com/images/whatever.gif

see what I mean?
Here's the script:

<?php
$loc = "http://www.google.com";
$handle = fopen($loc, "rb");
$content = '';
$contents = '';
while (!feof($handle)) {
$content .= fread($handle, 4096);
}
fclose($handle);
for ($i = 0, $j = strlen($content); $i < $j; $i++) {

if (strstr('<',$content[$i])) {
$tagstart = 1;
}

if (strstr('>',$content[$i])) {
$tagstart = 0;
}

if (strstr(' ',$content[$i])) {
$tagstart = 1;
}

if ($tagstart == 1) {
echo $content[$i];
}

if ($tagstart == 0) {
echo preg_replace('/([bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyz])/i', '$1ong',
$content[$i]);
$tagstart = 0;
}

}
?>
