note 78395 rejected from function.preg-replace by felipe

Note Submitter: djurredenboer at hotmail dot com ---- I found something strange <?php $string = 'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.'; $patterns[0] = '/quick/'; $patterns[1] = '/brown/'; $patterns[2] = '/fox/'; $replacements[2] = 'bear'; $replacements[1] = 'black'; $replacements[0] = 'slow'; echo preg_replace($patterns, $replacements, $string); ?> Output The bear black slow jumped over the lazy dog. But when you swap the replacements like $replacements[0] = 'slow'; $replacements[2] = 'bear'; $replacements[1] = 'black'; you get The slow bear black jumped over the lazy dog.
