I had a need to remove comments from a string. They were started with '[' and ended with ']'. I tried to to this with ereg_replace, but couldn't get to it. However, I managed to make it work with preg_replace, here's how if someone's interested: preg_replace( '/\[[^\]]+\]/', '', $string ); Don't know why it didn't work with ereg when I removed the '/'s. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg-replace.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+33979 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+33979&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+33979&report=yes
