preg_replace

When you think you got it, you don't get it.. Im trying to scan the link for =A-Z0-9_=, dump the '=' and evaluate the remainder as a defined constant. Yes its funny looking, but if I could get this going Im golden. $bar is always returned with '=_L_OL_HERE=' as the link and not 'here' as it supposed to be. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks <?php define('_L_OL_HERE', 'here'); $foo = '<a href="there.com">=_L_OL_HERE=</a>'; $bar = preg_replace('/(=)([A-Z0-9_])(=)/e', ' . constant("$2") . ', $foo); echo $bar; ?> -- Gerard Samuel http://www.trini0.org:81/ http://dev.trini0.org:81/
