note 41853 rejected from function.ereg by vincent

Note Submitter: john.obrien@pulplit.com ---- Hi- I'm a newbie whose been trying to understand regular expressions. What I'd like to do is be able to replace the text '<ASIN="1234578923">This Is a Book</ASIN>' with the text <a herf="http://www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/ASIN/1234578923/referral-ID">This Is a Book</a>. I think I've figured out how to replace the <ASIN=" with the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/" - however, I can't figure out how to then tag something onto the end of it. I've been trying to use ereg_replace... Is that the right approach? Any help would be much appreciated, Regards, John O'Brien ______________ www.PulpLit.com read something different
