reg exp problem

Anon

I have some code (written by someone else as part of a template function (template.inc) ) that used to work in earlier versions of PHP3 but now doesn't work (3.0.15 & 4) . [The file template.inc was referenced on php.net some time ago, and the URL in the file is :
http://www.snt.utwente.nl/~auke/template.tgz
though this doesn't exist now.]

code:

if (ereg("[^{{]{[^{{}][^}]*}",$line,}} $dt_result)) {

and

$dt_temp=ereg_replace('{{','{',$line);

These lines now give this error :

Warning: Invalid content of {} in template.inc on line xx

Does anyone know how to correct this reg expression ?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks & Regards

Arif

Hi! It will be very useful to know what this code does, but, for what can I see and understand, what you need to do is the next:

replace ALL the { by {

This is because a { is a special character in a regex.

Anyway, try it...

See ya..

$dt_temp=ereg_replace('{{','{',$line);

certainly needs to be cahnged to:

$dt_temp=ereg_replace('{{','{',$line);

thats it..
