Bug #1514: PCRE - request for s///e

From: rns@radar.no Operating system: RedHat 6.0 PHP version: 3.0.9 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: PCRE - request for s///e First of all, thanks for a nice fature. I've been playing with preg_replace(PATTERN, REPLACE, SUBJECT) and find it very usefull, but I miss the s/PATTERN/FUNCTION/e from Perl. I would like to do something like this: <?php $tmp = "one two three"; echo preg_replace("/(two)/", strrev("\\1"), $tmp); ?> BTW, this example get's a SEGFAULT FATAL: emalloc(): Unable to allocate 271313254 bytes httpd: [Wed Jun 9 10:22:17 1999] [notice] child pid 4235 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) I've looked at the pcre.sgml, but can't find anything that can help me. Execution for a function works, but that doesn't help me as long I can't use matches from the regexp. Is it possible to pass \\1 as a variable to a function? Rune Nordbøe Skillingstad
