note 57106 added to function.str-replace

please note in the last post by dsi, for escaping text to be XHTML compliant, this would be better served by the functions: htmlentities() htmlspecialchars() no? in the previous post by dominicshaw, escaping text for insertion in to a database, use addslashes() addcslashes() (or see the PEAR::DB solution) no? aeron's text-to-image replacement (may '04) might be better served by preg_replace(): $s = preg_replace('/([0-9])/','<img src="\1.gif"></img>'); // not tested t at seebach dot dk (oct '03) needle-highlighting will break when invalid characters (special regex characters) are present in the search string. for this we need a preg_escape() function. please see preg_match() for that. and no, i don't have anything better to do. -code till dawn, mark meves my email is my first name dot my last name at gmail dot com. and yes, i write regexs for fun. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57106 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57106&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57106&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57106&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57106&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57106&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57106&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57106&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57106&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
