You forgot to escape the '$' character:
$whatever=preg_replace( $pattern,"\$this->whatever('\\1')", $value );

If you use preg_replace with the /e option from within a class you may
want to call a method of the current class to perform the lookup.
Intuativly a user might expect this code to work:
$whatever=preg_replace( $pattern,"$this->whatever('\\1')", $value );
That 2nd parameter is being evaluated outside the current class... In
this context "$this" has no meaning outside the object, So a method
like "$this->whatever{foo)" can never be evaluated directly by this
command.
The function works fine if you use it according to the instructions -
that is you provide it with a globally available function it will work
perfectly.
