ereg_replace

[dast]

I need to make a function which takes all the values from a query, loops thru them one by one performing an ereg_replace on each one.

Would something like the following piece of code do it??

			[code=php]

while(list($key, $value) = each($result)){

$mainbody = ereg_replace ("£%" . $key . "%£", $" . $key . ", $mainbody);
}[/code]

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

As for the big idea, yeah, this would do what you were asking about; however, there are some errors in the statement...

the "$" should be backslashed.
I trust that $mainbody is defined somewhere.

I presume that youre changing pounds to dollars, and that being the case this will not do any figuring of the conversion, just change the characters...

Thanks for your reply. Im not changing pounds to dollars, I want to replace £%some_field%£ in a document with the value from database. This is the code im using:

				$data = pg_fetch_array($result);

			while(list($key, $value) = each($data)){   
			$mainbody = ereg_replace ("£%" . $key . "%£", $$key, $mainbody); 
			}

Will this perform a ereg_replace on all the fields in the DB?

Thanks for your help, I've solved it now. Code if interested:

				while(list($key, $value) = each($data)){   

				$mainbody = ereg_replace ("£%" . $key . "%£", $value, $mainbody); 
				}

I've never seen £%some_field%£ before... do you know where that is in the manual? thks

its just a value in a document, which i replaced using ereg_replace, its not a php function or anything. 🙂
