note 36810 modified in function.str-replace by aidan

I got sick of trying to replace just a word, so I decided I would write my own string replacement code. When that code because far to big and a little faulty I decided to use a simple preg_replace: <?php function word_replace($search, $replace, $subject) { /*------------------------------------------------------- Written by Rowan Lewis of PixelCarnage.com --------------------------------------------------------- $search(string), the string to be searched for $replace(string), the string to replace $search $subject(string), the string to be searched in -------------------------------------------------------*/ return preg_replace('/[a-zA-Z]+/e', '\'\0\' == \'' . $search . '\' ? \'' . $replace . '\': \'\0\';', $subject); } ?> I hope that this code helpes someone! --was-- I got sick of trying to replace just a word, so I decided I would write my own string replacement code.
