note 27354 deleted from function.preg-replace by sniper

Note Submitter: jeppe@nospam.bundsgaard.net ---- I solved the problem presented by frauen_at_kapierich_dot_net and solved by jared above on numbers preceding a replacement reference by simply producing 9 sets of empty parenteses before the one I wanted to refer to - and since only 99 references are allowed, numbers after the $10 are treated as part of the replacement string and not of the reference: preg_replace("/<!-- ()()()()()()()()()(link|descr|publ)[0-9]+/","<!-- $10".(string)($int+1),$string);
