RE: [PHP] ereg_replace and strings with "

just like in variables: "here is the \"string\" " to be understood as a double quote you will first need a backslash there. Now, (I guess, not too sure but would definitely try it ) that you also will have to escape backslashes and single quotes to be taken literally. so this might be your solution : \\\" Try it... and Let us know. P.S: another thing: if you would use single quotes for the Regular Expression string then there would be no need escaping Double ones.

I am trying to use ereg and ereg_replace but I got stucked in a problem : how do I specify that the string it should find/replace should have double quotes (") somewhere in the middle of it? For ex. original test = my test was "ok" but I did not complete it. I want to replace "ok" (with the quotes) with another thing. Using \" in the search string did not work. thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
