To all guru

first excuse for my bad english

i have a problem regarding how to update a certain assign word

i have a file called language.php the content is something like this
$language["other"]="other content";
$language["meuforlife"]=" this is the menu ";

now how can i use preg_replace to replace a certain language like i want to change the content of $language["other'] = "other content" to $language["other"]="this is the latest update";

Thanks for all your help

kind regards

NogDog

preg_replace(
   '/$language["other"]=".*";/sU',
   '$language["other"]="The new text goes here.";',
   $string_to_be_modified
);

Hello NogDog

thanks for the script, i got still problem regarding that script

it did not change at all 🙁

$item = file_get_contents("pregparam.php");

$newcontent=preg_replace(
'/$global["other"]=".*";/sU',
'$global["other"]="The new text goes here.";',
$item
);
echo $newcontent;

file_put_contents("pregparam.php",$newcontent);

just a guess, but you may have to escape [
with [

I am no expert with regular expressions,
but you can try

$newcontent=preg_replace(
'/$global\["other"\]=".*";/sU',
'$global["other"]="The new text goes here.";',
$item
);

That would be correct.
