[PHP] Dynamic Regex

[Gerard Samuel]

The example doesn't have to make sense, but Im looking for the correct syntax for $foo. I was trying ->
$foo = '\[this\](.*?)that';
$bar = 'the other';

$str = preg_replace($foo, $bar, $other_string);

But that doesn't work. I came across an example where the syntax of $foo is in ->
$foo = '#\[this\](.*?)that#';

The second syntax of $foo works. I was wondering on the meaning of # in the string??

Thanks
