RE: [PHP-DB] Exact String replace with eregi_replace()

First, the example you give will replace "is" with "," if "is" is the ONLY work in the line. You indicate this with the ^$ construct. Are you trying to replace only the first occurrence if "is"? -----Original Message----- From: Desikan [mailto:desikb4u@fastmail.fm] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 6:42 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] Exact String replace with eregi_replace() hi I'm trying to replace the exact match of 'is' with ','..
