note 90636 added to function.preg-replace

This is about the simplest example possible. If shows how to echo passwords safely <?php $password="secret"; $safe_pass=preg_replace("(.)", "*", $password); echo $safe_pass; ?> Having said that you passwords will probably be hashed so it's fairly pointless. I just wanted to say a big thank you to arkani at iol dot pt your contribution was very helpful for me. ---- Server IP: 92.48.74.199 Probable Submitter: 84.43.33.165 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/90636 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90636/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90636/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90636/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90636/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90636/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90636/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90636 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/90636 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
