[PHP] Where is the modifier "/e" in preg_replace() (Andrei?) ? From: Tony Mobily (merc <email protected>)
Date: 07/15/00

Hi,

I am trying to use the modifier "/e" in the function preg_replace().
My code looks like:

$variable=preg_replace('/\\{EDIT:(PPP)\\}/e',"my_function('\\1')",$variable);

I get the following error:

Warning: Unknown option 'e' in library.php on line 169

Unfortunately, it isn't just a "warning": the function
my_function() doesn't get called at all.

In the "NEWS" file, I read:

8 May 2000, Version 4.0 Release Candidate 2
[...]
- Put in safeguards in case dynamic code evaluation in assert() and
  preg_replace() with /e modifier fails. (Andrei)
[...]

...any idea? If I were able to use that modifier, my life would be *much*
easier!

Please let me know,

Merc.
