[PHP-DEV] preg_replace and e option (bug or feature?) From: Wico de Leeuw (wico <email protected>)

Hiya

i was playing with the preg_replace function and found some annoying problems
maybe this is food for a feature request :)
but i first want to hear you guys

take this text:

$text = "#!this 'is' a \"test\" :)!#";

say i want everyting between #! and !# feed and replace to addslashes

you sould say i do :

$new_text = preg_replace("'#!(.*?)!#'ie", 'Addslashes("\\1")', $text);

but because of the " and the ' this will fall due the eval of preg_replace
resulting in a:
Parse error: parse error in Unknown on line 0

i suggest the founded strings in the regular can be called like this to
overcome this problem:
$new_text = preg_replace("'#!(.*?)!#'ie", 'Addslashes($1)', $text);

Anyone has comment on this?

Greetz,

Wico
