Help!! I am soooo close!

Here is my problem. (see the code below)
When I try and use the function rawurlencode() in the replace part of the preg_replace() function the value that is getting encoded is the literal $3 instead of the value that $3 represents, which is a url (I've tried \3 also and it doesn't work). You can see the code below. you can see this in action at http://www.myschoolshop.com/test.php. I have tried everything I can think of, please help me.

$Body = "HomePage<br><br><a href='http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?PAGE=PROFRAME&PROD_ID=24412'>[url]http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2.cgi?PAGE=PROFRAME&PROD_ID=24412[/url]</a><br><br><a href='http://yahoo.com'>Yahoo.com!</a>";

$Body = preg_replace("((href=)('|\")([[:alnum:].,-_?+~%#/&=]*)('|\"))","$1$2redirect.php?txt=".rawurlencode("$3")."$4",$Body);

Thanks!

can't you just run preg_replace, then split the string at "?" and urlencode the second part?

Well, $3 certainly won't work.

And because you're executing code within the replacement string, you'll want to use the /e modifier on your regexp.
