Re: Using eregi_replace()

And besides ereg_replace would not work becase it's greedy, .* would match "going", than "going" would not be found and the whole match would fail. messju mohr wrote:

you mean $newtext= ereg_replace(".*?(hello.*going).*","\\1",$text); ?? i would suggest preg_replace in favour to ereg_replace: $newtext= preg_replace("!.*?(hello.*going).*!","$1",$text); it is more powerfull, faster and widely available. greetings messju
