Re: Problem with a regex!

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something. I'm suggesting that you not bother at all with an ereg_replace system. If you want to do a system like you're suggesting, you would use a variable variable. That is, ${$var} will evaluate to 'Hello' when $var = 'title' and $title = 'Hello'.
