Hi there,
I am trying to remove a text which does contain a : inside. Somehow the regex does not match, no matter what I do:
$contents = mb_ereg_replace('^(.*)this is the test: replace(.*)$', '', $contents ,'UTF-8');
Looks like this is a result of the :.
Does anybody have an idea how to do this?
Thank you for any help.
