Error, probably something simple!

[benbox]

Hi there,

If you can see a problem in the coding or may know why I am getting this error, could you help me please.

Basically, I have the following code just before a loop (while)

$parsesearch =  array ('-1');
$parsereplace = array ('Unlimited');

(will be having more than just this single item to replace soon)

I then have the loop with the following code in

$space[$k] = preg_replace($parsesearch, $parsereplace, $plan['space']);

and I get the following error

Warning: No ending delimiter '-' found in ....

I have tried things like making sure the arrays (parsesearch etc) are allowed by using the global function within the loop, but I still get the error, after trying many combinations and attempts to fix it myself.

Many thanks for any help,
Ben

if I change the -1 in the search to 1 i get a different error....

Warning: Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash ...

well if your using an array in the preg_replace, i'd think you'd have to specify the array index you want to use.....

$parsesearch[0]

or whatever

hmm, I was just following the layout on Example 5 from here

http://uk.php.net/preg_replace

But I will try what you said now, Thanks

[benbox]

what is a delimiter by the way?

[jaimz]

a delimitor is the value that the function used to know what it's looking for basicly

so try this

$parsesearch =  array ("'-1'");
$parsereplace = array ("'Unlimited'");
