The only change I made was I added the text 'AAAAA' in your signature A element since it had no text content.
This code works on my site using the 2016 theme. So, there is nothing wrong with the code itself. I would try a different theme to see if the theme you are using is the source of problem - I would try 2016 as it is known to work in my environment. For your code to run the theme must call certain filters - 'blog_info', 'the_content' - further, the 'blog_info' filter must be called with the parameter 'description'. Some themes may not do this. The filter 'the_content' was probably called but did not produce any visible content as your A element had no text content.
UPDATED CODE - to move quote from tagline location to signature location

I'm a bit of a noob, but have been getting my feet wet building a site in php on localhost. The problem that I'm having is that I can't figure out how to filter RSS content that contains a regular expression in their links.
My code to display a RSS feed with PHP:
<?php
///// RSS FEED CODE
function getFeed1($feed_url) {
$content = file_get_contents($feed_url);
$x = new SimpleXmlElement($content);
echo "<ul>";
foreach($x->channel->item as $entry) {
echo "<li><a href='$entry->link' title='$entry->title'>" . $entry->title . "</a></li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
}
getFeed1("http://www.drf.com/feeds/all-articles-of-track/SA");

I am trying to figure out how to use an if-statement that will filter out the links(href) that start with “http://www.drf.com/news/preview/”.
So the results will look like:
Espinoza wins George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award
Santa Anita attendance up, handle down
Millionaire Alert Bay looks to pad bankroll in Sensational Star
Santa Anita to replace turf course this summer
Iron Rob vanned off after winning Baffle Stakes
I've spent the last two days trying different variations of:
if (strpos($x, 'http://www.drf.com/news/preview/') !== false)
and
if (preg_match('http://www.drf.com/news/preview/', $x))
Yet I can't get the syntax right or I'm screwing up somewhere.
I have found post that suggest using third party filters, or the dead yahoo pipes, yet I have a feeling that what I seek can be accomplished with an if-statement. I have yet to find anything that can parse out a rss href using a regular expression.
For the people who know php, what am I missing? I have spent the last two days googling and trying different things mentioned on the internet, but to no avail. I know the chase is always better then the catch, yet I lost the tracks of my prey. Please Help by pointing me, and others who found this post, find the trail.
Thank you
This is the regular expression you are looking for:
/^(http\:\/\/www\.drf\.com\/news\/preview\/)/i
You should accept HTTPS too with a small modification:
/^(https?\:\/\/www\.drf\.com\/news\/preview\/)/i
And do not fall back on the www subdomain!
/^(https?\:\/\/(www\.)?drf\.com\/news\/preview\/)/i

What I did in PHP
$arr = array();
$arr["item"]["content"] = $content; // $content is dynamic, scrapped from somewhere
echo json_encode($arr, true);
I tried htmlentities and addcslashes($item_content,'"') but nnoe of that work.
It's because of the " sign in the image tag. You could use the HTML entities function to encode it en the decode function to decode it.
A neater way to do it is to save the image url in a different property of your item.
You haven't escaped the quotation marks ("") in your content - this means that your content string is only "<p><img src=" and then PHP is confused as to what the rest of this stuff is.
You need to change it be like this:
"content": "<p><img src=\"https: \/\/www-techinasia.netdna-ssl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/lookup-app-main-720x289.jpg" alt=\"loo...More content..."
(I've added \ before the quotation marks that don't end the string - in future - look for the syntax highlighting - if things change colour without you expecting the end of a variable - then something has gone wrong)
If you'd like to do this with PHP - you can use the HTML entities function (http://php.net/htmlentities) or simply the addslashes function (http://php.net/manual/en/function.addslashes.php)
E.g.
<?php $str = "A 'quote' is <b>bold</b>";
// Outputs: A 'quote' is <b>bold</b> echo
htmlentities($str);
// Outputs: A 'quote' is <b>bold</b> echo
htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES); ?>`
[Cite: PHP Manual]
<?php $str = "Is your name O'Reilly?";
// Outputs: Is your name O\'Reilly?
echo addslashes($str); ?>

William Bradley "Brad" Pitt (born December 18, 1963) is an American actor and film producer. Pitt has received two Academy Award nominations and four Golden Globe Award nominations, winning one. He has been described as one of the world's most attractive men, a label for which he has received substantial media attention. Pitt began his acting career with television guest appearances, including a role on the CBS prime-time soap opera Dallas in 1987. He later gained recognition as the cowboy hitchhiker who seduces Geena Davis's character in the 1991 road movie Thelma & Louise. Pitt's first leading roles in big-budget productions came with A River Runs Through It (1992) and Interview with the Vampire (1994). He was cast opposite Anthony Hopkins in the 1994 drama Legends of the Fall, which earned him his first Golden Globe nomination. In 1995 he gave critically acclaimed performances in the crime thriller Seven and the science fiction film 12 Monkeys, the latter securing him a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor and an Academy Award nomination. Four years later, in 1999, Pitt starred in the cult hit Fight Club. He then starred in the major international hit as Rusty Ryan in Ocean's Eleven (2001) and its sequels, Ocean's Twelve (2004) and Ocean's Thirteen (2007). His greatest commercial successes have been Troy (2004) and Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005). Pitt received his second Academy Award nomination for his title role performance in the 2008 film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Following a high-profile relationship with actress Gwyneth Paltrow, Pitt was married to actress Jennifer Aniston for five years. Pitt lives with actress Angelina Jolie in a relationship that has generated wide publicity. He and Jolie have six children—Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne. Since beginning his relationship with Jolie, he has become increasingly involved in social issues both in the United States and internationally. Pitt owns a production company named Plan B Entertainment, whose productions include the 2007 Academy Award winning Best Picture, The Departed.

The SimpleXML extension provides is a simple way of getting an XML element's name and text.
Compared to DOM or the Expat parser, SimpleXML just takes a few lines of code to read text data from an XML element.
SimpleXML converts the XML document (or XML string) into an object, like this:
Elements are converted to single attributes of the SimpleXMLElement object. When there's more than one element on one level, they are placed inside an array
Attributes are accessed using associative arrays, where an index corresponds to the attribute name
Text inside elements is converted to strings. If an element has more than one text node, they will be arranged in the order they are found
