note 26736 added to function.preg-replace-callback

Please disregard my above report - I'd misinterpreted my test results :( Apols for misleading anyone, and to save my further embarrassment please could the site editors remove my mistake! The following is correct (I hope). The callback function is called once for each match, and should return the replacement value for that match. The array passed to the callback function will only have a single element unless you have used ( ) in the match pattern. Example: find keywords introduced by `` and replace with values from table $val $val[bird]='cormorant'; $val[bird2]='shag'; $val[nest]='paper bag'; $sample = 'The common `bird or bird2, lays its eggs in a `nest'; $result = preg_replace_callback('/``(\w+)/', lookup, $sample); echo $sample,"\n<hr>\n",$result; function lookup($items) { global $val; return $val[$items[1]]; #first ( ) in pattern } -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace-callback.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+26736 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+26736 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+26736
