Ereg_Replace

[SP8600]

Just wondering does any one know why this does not work. It replaces any thing (such as the i) in the ereg replace which i dont want it to do i only want it to replace the full thing if inputed. Please help.

$content_replace = $page_row["main_content"];        

            $content_replace = ereg_replace("\n","<br>",$content_replace);
            $content_replace = ereg_replace("[img]","<img src=\"",$content_replace);
            $content_replace = ereg_replace("[/img]","\">",$content_replace);

PS. Sorry if the explanation is not that clear.

does every ereg_replace fail to work? or is a specific one? I'll need to concerntrate more on this becuase im learning Java and JSP. JSP and PHP syntax dont mix!:o I can get confused when im going from jsp to php!

the first one processes fine but the other two just replace anything in them, like i said such as the "i"

use str_replace for easy tasks like this.

when you need to replace something that follows a more complex pattern, remember that you need to escape characters that have special meanings in regex, such as [ and ].

hope this helps,
