[Resolved] preg_replace and functions

restak

Hello
Is it possible to call a function with a backreference of a regular expression, e.g. something like this:

preg_replace("#test(.*?)test#", thefunction('\1'), $subject);

I know it doesnt work in THIS way, but how does it work?

Thanks for your answers.

I see no reason why it shouldnt work.

restak

function thefunction($s){
echo $s;
}

prints: \1

jayant

Use [man]preg_replace_callback/man 🙂

restak

Ahh, thats that what i was looking for, thanks.

restak

btw: what does this: "mark thread resolved" mean!?

jayant

mark thread resolved will add [Resolved] to the title of the post.
this will give idea to other users that answer to the question in the thread was answered.

restak

thanks for deleting the double "[resolved]" 🙂
(why were there two? seems to be a bug... you shouldnt be able to mark them twice)

jayant

you clicked twice thats why double.

we know about it. the admin is "lazy" 🙂 to make the change right now since he will have to do it again once we shortly upgrade to v3 .

i see 😉
