PHP 4.0 Bug #7006: preg_replace ( string pattern, array replacement, string subject );

From: joel.jacobson@mobigym.se Operating system: Linux 2.4.0-test7 PHP version: 4.0.2 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: preg_replace ( string pattern, array replacement, string subject ); ''If pattern is an array and replacement is a string; then this replacement string is used for every value of pattern. The converse would not make sense, though.'' (http://www.php.net/manual/function.preg-replace.php) I don't agree. The converse is a feature that I would like to be available. Have a look at the following example: <?php $tvPrograms = array ( 'Simpsons', 'Southpark', 'Disney Time' ); $data = '<tr><td>%col%</td><td>%col%</td><td>%col%</td></tr>'; $htmlDoc = preg_replace ( '/%col%/', $tvPrograms, $data ); print $htmlDoc; ?> This will not work. But wouldn't it be nice if it did? That is, replace match number n with $tvPrograms[n] in $data. Thanks in advance for any comments. Best regards, Joel Jacobson
