[Resolved] Sending preg_replace result to a function

[jek]

Hi there!

I am totally lost so I'll take my chanses here.

Hov can I take the result from a preg_replace and send it to another funcion on the same line of code?

I want something like this:

$string = preg_replace( "/(?:9)([a-zA-ZåäöÅÄÖ0-9]+)(?:9)/", work_on_string(\1), $text );

The function work_on_string returns different values depending on what the resutl of the regexp is...

I'm sure it's possible, I just can't figure out how to do it...

Thanks in advance

Okay... I got most of it working. Here's the code:

$text = preg_replace( "/(?:9)([a-zA-ZåäöÅÄÖ0-9]+)(?:9)/e", 'work_on_string("$1")', $text );

The only problem now is how to get the return string from the function work_on_string to replace the string matching the regexp...

Close, but you just need to fix your quoting:

"work_on_string('$1')"

, because you want $1 to be interpolated with the matched string, it has to be inside a double-quoted string (the fact that that string happens to contain PHP code is another story entirely).

Thanks mate.

It's working.
