note 77440 added to function.ereg-replace

is it posible to apply user defined function to replacement? as sample this works for me: echo ereg_replace('#([0-9]+)#', '<b>\\1<b>' , 'string_received44'); but i would like to do something like: echo ereg_replace('#([0-9]+)#', my_function('\\1') , 'string_received44'); function my_function($input){ // this is just sample code, // this function could be more complex return 2 * $input; } ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 190.30.67.45 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/77440 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77440/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77440/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77440/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77440/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77440/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77440/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/77440 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/77440 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
