note 79758 added to function.preg-replace

Actually I made a mistake in my previous post. In order to make the function more effective ... I broke it. The original which works (really) looks like this: <?php function repl_amp($text) { $text=preg_replace("/&(?!amp;)/i", "&amp;", $text); $text=preg_replace("/&amp;#(\d+);/i", "&#$1;", $text); // For numeric entities $text=preg_replace("/&amp;(\w+);/i", "&$1;", $text); // For literal entities return $text; } ?> The RegEx Tester says that the first expression is OK, but when testing with various entities, some of them came out broken. I'd tried to use only 2 preg_replace(); calls instead of three by using the alternative branch from the pattern syntax - which didn't came out well. Sorry for the previous error, and I still hope that someone can find a better alternative. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 195.137.204.178 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/79758 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79758/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79758/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79758/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79758/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79758/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79758/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/79758 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/79758 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
