use at my work that should have a full stop in front of them. There
may be a couple of others, but this should cover the vast majority of
HTML use. I didn't use a preg_replace, more comfortable out of the
world of regexps! I don't have PHP4, but I'll check in a PHP4 version
tomorrow hopefully. I'll have to use a strtolower and then just use
str_replace. I don't have the PHPUnit framework at home so I haven't
checked in a test, but I have a test that I've been running that I'll
check in once I have the PHPUnit framework up and running.
planning to add the dale_chall function in? I've already written a
quick implementation for work and I can check that in also if you
want.
