$filevalue = str_replace(\\, /, $filevalue);
it is reversing the \\ to // but not replacing them
with just a single
/.
I think you need to escape your \ so each \ is \\ so your
string should be
Or use single quotes for your strings:
$filevalue = str_replace('\\', '/', $filevalue);
Cheers!

[PHP] preg_replace - understanding
I'm trying to understand how the code works within the preg_replace function
but the manual is just obscure as the examples are. Anyway, I am looking to
use it to replace \\ in a string with / and I can not figure how how.
At first, I thought I could just do:
$filevalue = preg_replace('\\', /, $filevalue);
but it doesn't do anything. If someone could relate what it is and what the
parts mean between the (), I would appreciate it.
thanks

You're not using the function correctly. You've got the search string and
replace string tied up into one input there. They need to be separate.
$filevalue = preg_replace('\\', '/', $filevalue);
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php
However you should consider using the str_replace() function in your case
since you aren't doing any pattern matching and it's a lot faster than
preg_replace().
$filevalue = str_replace('\\'. '/', $filevalue);

Re: [PHP] preg_replace - understanding
I took a look at the str_replace function and it will work but I am getting
a weird thing happening now. When I do:
$filevalue = str_replace(\\, /, $filevalue);
it is reversing the \\ to // but not replacing them with just a single
/.
What may be causing this?
thanks

Re: [PHP] preg_replace - understanding
You where right. That's what it was doing but now its not reversing the direction. It at least is a single \. Have an idea for reversing it. I played with it a bit but still no go on this. thanks - Original Message - From: Jennifer Goodie [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Micah Montoy [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 5:43 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] preg_replace - understanding $filevalue = str_replace(\\, /, $filevalue); it is reversing the \\ to // but not replacing them with just a single /.
