I have tried to wrap my head around regex and have failed pretty miserably. Here is my problem.

how would you do the following with regular expressions in php.

replace

<use xlink:href='#gpPt4' transform='translate([B][U]261.7,184.3[/U][/B]) scale([B][U]4.50[/U][/B])'/>

with

<use xlink:href='#gpPt4' transform='translate([B][U]261.7,184.3[/U][/B]) scale([B][U]4.50[/U][/B])' onclick="alert('a variable name from php')"/>

where the bolded/underlined sections (only used for emphasis, not actually in the text) are variable and change from line to line
ie i need to run this on a file with multiple lines similar to above with different numbers and be able to insert the alert with a variable sent in from php

to add slightly more information, the above lines are from an SVG (an XML based file type used for drawing infinitely scalable images) file. I am generating the SVG file using gnuplot (i think) and the output is many lines like the first line of code above. I was planning on reading in the file using PHP, changing it with regex, and writing it back out. If there is a better way of doing this please let me know.

Wont this code just go in and put onclick=\"alert('a variable name from php') after every "/>"?

I should be more specific. Below is a few snippets from an example SVG file I am creating. I need to make sure that only the "...transform='translate..." lines are changed. Sorry I wasn't more clear about that originally. I do really appreciate any help though.

(the dots are where I left out code to ease reading and just show some of the types of information I need to not touch when parsing because the original file is long)

Perhaps this?

$alertVar = 'Your variable here';
$pattern = "{transform='translate\((.+?)\) scale\((.+?)\)'\/\>}";
$replace = "transform='translate($1) scale($2)' onclick=\"alert('$alertVar')\"/>";
$string = '<a xlink:title="Plot #1" xlink:show="new"/>

thanks ezzaral, this looks promising, I'm going to try this either later tonight or tomorrow and get back to you

Ok having some serious problems.
I'm using the below code.

$svg = $resFileName;
                        if(file_exists($svg))
                        {
                            $file1=fopen($uploadfile,'r');
                            while(!feof($file1))
                            {
                                $theData=fgets($file1);
                                $temparray[]=preg_split("/[:\s,]+/",$theData, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
                            }
                            fclose($file1);
                            for($x=2; $x<count($temparray); $x++)
                            {
                                $labels[]=$temparray[$x][0];
                            }
//above code is pulling information from another file to populate the alert function with
                            $labelCount = 0;
                            $file=fopen($svg,'r');
                            while(!feof($file))
                            {
                                $theData=fgets($file);
                                $pattern = "{transform='translate\((.+?)\) scale\((.+?)\)'\/\>}";
                                if(preg_match($pattern, $theData)>0)
                                {
                                    $alertVar = $labels[$labelCount++];
                                    $replace = "transform='translate($1) scale($2)' onclick=\"alert('$alertVar')\"/>";
                                    $changedData = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $theData);
                                    $temparray1[]=$changedData;
                                }
                                else
                                {
                                    $temparray1[]=$theData;
                                }
                            }
                            fclose($file);
                            print_r($temparray1);
//                            $file2=fopen($svg, 'w');
//                            for($x=0; $x<count($temparray1); $x++)
//                            {
//                                fwrite($file2, $temparray1[x]."/n");
//                            }
//                            fclose($file2);
// this code is for writing everything back out
                        }

and I get this if I do a print_r($temparray1)

why is the array practically empty? does it have something to do with an SVG file being XML?

if I uncomment the last view lines of the code above the svg turns into nothing but a lot of "\n"'s

here is the original svg file before my code edits it

I modified your code just a little (see below) to use a static alert() message (I didn't have a file for those) and fixed the minor error with the 'x' variable in your fwrite() code, and it did the replacement just fine. If you're looking at your print_r($temparray1) output in a browser, you won't see most of the text because it's markup with very little textual content. Look at the page source and you'll see all of the tags as text.

<?php
$svg = 'testIn.xml';
                        if(file_exists($svg))
                        {
                            // $file1=fopen($uploadfile,'r');
                            // while(!feof($file1))
                            // {
                                // $theData=fgets($file1);
                                // $temparray[]=preg_split("/[:\s,]+/",$theData, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
                            // }
                            // fclose($file1);
                            // for($x=2; $x<count($temparray); $x++)
                            // {
                                // $labels[]=$temparray[$x][0];
                            // }
//above code is pulling information from another file to populate the alert function with
                            $labelCount = 0;
                            $file=fopen($svg,'r');
                            while(!feof($file))
                            {

                                if(preg_match($pattern, $theData)>0)
                                {
				    echo "Match<BR>";
                                    $alertVar = 'hi';
                                    $replace = "transform='translate($1) scale($2)' onclick=\"alert('$alertVar')\"/>";
                                    $changedData = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $theData);
