RE: [PHP-DB] Exact String replace with eregi_replace()

2002-02-08 Thread Rick Emery 

First, the example you give  will replace is with , if is is the ONLY
work in the line.  You indicate this with the ^$ construct.

Are you trying to replace only the first occurrence if is?

[PHP-DB] Exact String replace with eregi_replace()

Hi there,

Please help me out in the following...

?php
$is='is';
echo eregi_replace( .$is. , ,This is a test string which contains
is in dismissal);

Actually I want to replace is alone from the string and not all the
words that contains is...

I have tried with ^.$is.$ --- but yields nothing


thanks and regards,

 hi there,

 words containg that sring...
 
 thanks

This kind of question really belongs on the PHP General List, since it isn't
db related.

That said, look at the preg_replace function:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php

And use the \b escape in your search string:

?php
while ($self != asleep) {
$sheep_count++;
}
