RE: [PHP] Re: help using ereg_replace()

I own and have read "Mastering Regular Expressions" (excellent book). I've programmed perl for 3 years and have recently started migrating one of my projects into php. I can't stand ereg, I prefer preg. While functions such as substitute and match differ in syntax from perl to php, this book will teach you quite a bit about how to effectively use preg, which i've found to be easier, and faster than ereg. For the record, I like perl's syntax better... ;p Hope this helps, /bart -----Original Message----- From: Erik Price [mailto:pricee@hhbrown.com] Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 11:26 AM To: liljim Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: help using ereg_replace() liljim, Thanks for the advice (and especially the explanation!) -- I note that you chose the Perl regexp engine rather than the "e" regexp engine (POSIX?). Quite a few people recommended O'Reilly's "Mastering Regular Expressions" over the weekend. Does anyone know if it covers the Perl syntax*? This seems like a good book to learn more.
