 * Hi
 * I am using some php in my functions.php with a form on another page which creates
   posts on my wordpress site, when using this php form on a non-wordpress site 
   without the post creation feature, it functions perfectly however when using 
   on my wordpress site it appears to strip out the site name in the [tab:sitename]
   and just leaves [tab:].
 * Any ideas?
 * This is the code for functions.php:
 *     ```
       $formatted = "";
       $groups = array();
       $first = true;
   
       if(isset($_POST["input"]))
       {
         $iframes = split("\n", $_POST["input"]);
         foreach($iframes as $iframe)
         {
           $iframe = trim($iframe);
   
           if($iframe == "")
           {
             continue;
           }
   
           if(stripos($iframe, "iframe") === false)
           {
             if(!$first)
             {
               $formatted .= "[tab:END]\n";
               array_push($groups, $formatted);
               $formatted = "";
             }
   
             $formatted .= $iframe . "\n";
             $first = false;
   
             continue;
           }
   
           preg_match_all('/src="([^"]*)"/i', $iframe, $matches);
           $site_name = $matches[1][0];
           $site_name = parse_url($site_name);
           $site_name = $site_name["host"];
           $site_name = split("\.", $site_name);
           $site_name = $site_name[0] == "www" ? $site_name[1] : $site_name[0];
   
           $formatted .= "[tab:" . $site_name . "]";
           $formatted .= $iframe;
           $formatted .= "\n";
         }
         $formatted .= "[tab:END]\n";
         array_push($groups, $formatted);
   
         foreach($groups as $group)
         {
           $title = split("\n", $group);
           $title = $title[0];
           $title = split("/", $title);
           $title = ucwords(str_replace("-", " ", $title[3]));
   
           $post = array(
             "post_content" => $group,
             "post_title" => $title,
             "post_status" => "publish",
             "filter" => true
           );
   
           wp_insert_post($post, $wp_error);
         }
       }
       ```

 * An idea, but not necessarily a solution…
 * It looks like variable $site_name starts as array and later becomes a string.
   I know normally PHP will handle variable typing automatically but as this is 
   where the problem lies, you might try using different variables for the two types.

 * Thanks, I have fixed it now it seems to work great however i use it to input 
   code such as:
 *     ```
       http://xyz.com/hello-world/
       <IFRAME SRC="http://abc.com" FRAMEBORDER=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 SCROLLING=NO WIDTH=540 HEIGHT=330></IFRAME>
       <IFRAME SRC="def.com" FRAMEBORDER=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 SCROLLING=NO WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=360></IFRAME>
       ```
   
 * How do I get it to stop producing the http:// link at the top of the inputted
   code? I.e. so it just outputs the iframe code? The http is important in separating
   the iframes into groups when I have multiple groups of iframes however I don’t
   want it to reproduce this link in the post.
