I've got a section of code on a b2evo PHP site that does the following: $content = preg_replace_callback( '/[\x80-\xff]/', create_function( '$j', 'return "&#".ord($j[0]).";";' ), $content); What does this section of code do? My guess is that it strips out ascii characters between 128 and 256, but I can't be sure. Also, ...

I am trying to run preg_replace_callback, or an ob_start(), extract() combination through a subdirectory. Something along the lines of these functions <?php /** * Execute a PHP template file and return the result as a string. */ function apply_template($tpl_file, $vars = array(), $include_globals = true) { extract($vars); if ($i...

This uses the preg_replace_callback() function my preferred method of naming is name1.name2.name3=value, rather than name1_name2_name3=value, but the re...

This is what I've got for for my RegEx, I was wondering if this is the best way. I want to be able to find something similar regardless of the spacing between Identifiers and not be case sensitive. And if possible, not worry about order.. Example: [Foreclosure ="Remax" URL="http://www.remax.com" Title = "4 Bedroom 2 Bath Condo"] [F...
Regular expressions is just not my thing. :( I have a string that may contain multiple sub strings such as: [var1="111" var2="222" var3="222" var4="444"] I basically need to replace each occurrence with the the results of a function that gets each variable. $string = '[var1="111" var2="222" var3="333" var4="444"]'; $regex = 'var...
I'm using preg_replace_callback to substitute particular tokens within the string. But apart from actual token I need to know as well whether that token was first, second or third in a subject string. Is there any way to access that info? I found an argument $count in preg_replace_callback definition (http://php.net/manual/en/function.p...

The site I'm working on has a database table filled with glossary terms. I am building a function that will take some HTML and replace the first instances of the glossary terms with tooltip links. I am running into a problem though. Since it's not just one replace, the function is replacing text that has been inserted in previous itera...
