ereg_replace

Hi, short question: i want to use ereg_replace to replace something with an array-element, this is my code and its not working: ereg_replace("<\\$([0-9])>", "\$parmarray[\\1]", $string); parmarray is of course an array with some elements, Here are the facts: $parmarray = array ("", "value1", "value2"); $string = "foo <$1> bar <$2>"; output: foo $parmarray[1] bar $parmarray[2] i want of course: output: foo value1 bar value2 any ideas? thx in advance ----------------------- Marc Logemann Morelogs GmbH & Co.
