note 47015 added to function.ereg-replace

Use of brackets in ereg_replace expressions allows replacement of only part of the pattern you are looking for. After crashing over the "this is a test" example, I made out these hopefully self-explaining chunks of code : $string1= "......45645.6458"; echo "=>".ereg_replace("([0-9]{1})(\.)","\\1,", $string1); // =>......45645,6458 : dot preceded by number is replaced by coma echo "=>".ereg_replace("([0-9]{1})(\.)","P\\2", $string1); // =>......4564P.6458 : number preceding a dot is replaced by letter "P" (pardon the kafkaism, for the sake of example ;-) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg-replace.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+47015 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47015&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47015&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47015&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47015&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47015&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+47015&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+47015&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
