If I'm understanding correctly, Andre, you want to perform a replace
operation, but you're observing that there's an element of recursion
happening (e.g., you replace one item with its replacement, and then the new
replacement is also replaced.)
To my knowledge, this won't happen with a standard preg_replace():
$string = 'Bil & Tom & Phil';
$pattern = '/&/';
$replacement = '&';
// outputs Bil & Tom & Phil
echo preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $string);
However, if you're using arrays to pass in the patterns and replacements,
then one array item could later be replaced by another (see comment and
example on this page by info at gratisrijden dot nl):
http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php
If that's the case, you have to carefully structure the order of the array
items so-as to preclude one replacement having the opportunity to override a
subsequent replacement.
Sorry if I misunderstood. You might want to create a simple example of code
showing what you're working through.

Hello Adam,
You did understand me exactly and perfectly).
Ordering arrays is a good idea but I don't know how to do that
exactly.
For instance, there's a cypher called Polybius square. You write in
the alphabet in a grid like this:
1 a b c d e
2 f g h i j
3 k l m n o
4 p q r s t
5 u v w x y
6 z
There is a way where i/j are equal to make a 5 by 5 square but for me
it's equal since I'm working with a 33-letter Russian alphabet, so no
way to make it a perfect square.
Anyway, a letter has two coordinates and is represented by a two-digit
number. For example, E is 15, K is 21, Z is 61 and so on.
So we have a word, say, PHP. It will look like this: 412341.
What does preg_replace do? Exactly, it's searching 41, then 12, then
23, and so on.
I tried to make a loop:
$length=mb_strlen($str);
for ($i=0; $i<$length; $i+=2) {
$pair=mb_substr($str, $i, 2);
$pair=preg_replace($numbers, $letters, $str);
}
It already smells something not good, but anyway.
If I do that, I have one more problem: say, we have a phrase "PHP is
the best". So we crypt it and get:
412341 2444 452315 12154445
Then the parser begins: "41=>p, 23=>h, 41=>p, (attention!) \s2=>...."
I marked a whitespace as \s so you see what happens.
I might split the string by spaces but I can't imagine what a user
inputs: it might be a dash, for example...
Sorry for such a long message but I'm really annoyed with this
preg_replace's behavior. And it's not the only one task to
accomplish...
Thanks a lot!

Well, as you're wanting to replace pairs of digits, I'd search for exactly that
-- but I think I'd use the e flag to employ a programmed replacement, thus:
$str = "4123415 - 2444 452315 12154445!";
$replaced = preg_replace("{(\d\d)}e", "polybius_decode('\\1')", $str);
echo $replaced;
function polybius_decode($pair) {
static $polybius = array(
'11'=>'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e',
'21'=>'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j',
'31'=>'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o',
'41'=>'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't',
'51'=>'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y',
'61'=>'z'
);
return isset($polybius[$pair]) ? $polybius[$pair] : $pair;
}
Seems to work: "php5 - is the best!". :)
Cheers!

Wow, lots of answers to that one.
Let me rephrase it then - what is the PHP interface to the system
resolver when support for IPv6 is required?
Again, gethostbyname() only works for IPv4 and dns_get_record is not a
resolver interface, but a DNS interface. (AFAICT).

Hello Guus,
Actually, we are using the same method here on http://oire.org/. We
have all of the language files in UTF8 format and everything seems to
be OK. Yes, unicode support in PHp laisse à désirer, like the French
say, but it does support UTF8 files.

Subject: [PHP] Convert UTF-8 to PHP defines
We use PHP defines for defining text in different languages. As far as I
know PHP files are supposed to be ASCII, not UTF-8 or something like that.
What I want to make is a conversion program that would convert a given UTF-8
file with the format
definetext1=this is a text in random UTF-8, probably arabic or similar text
definetext2=this is another text in random UTF-8, probably arabic or similar
text
into a file with the following defines
define('definetext1',chr(<t_value>).chr(<h_value>).chr(<i_value>)...<chr(<x_value>).chr(<t_value>));
define('definetext2,chr(<t_value>).chr(<h_value>).chr(<i_value>)...<chr(<x_value>).chr(<t_value>));
Not sure if I'm using the correct chr/ord function, but I hope the above is
clear enough to make clear what I'm looking for. Basically the output file
should be ascii and not contain any utf-8.
Any advise? The html_special_chars did not seem to work for Vietnamese text
I tried to convert, so something seems to get wrong with just reading an
array of strings and converting the strings and putting them in defines.

Thanks, but are you sure of that? I did some research a while ago and found
that officially PHP files should be ascii and not have any specific
character encoding. I believe it will work anyhow (did not try this one),
but would like to stick with the standards.

Very sure, ever PHP file I ever make is always in utf8. The only problem
you might encounter is when outputting HTML, you should make sure that
you output the right text encoding headers, as some browsers won't
correctly detect it and can tend to output utf-8 characters as random
blocks and other characters.

hallo there everyone!
i am uploading a file in a php applet i developed and i face a problem
while i upload greek named files..
have no problem with the english or so on files...
is there a way to use iconv or something else so as to solve my problem ?
my code looks like that...
$uploaddir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/****
/****/public_html/uploads/';
$file = $uploaddir . basename($_FILES['uploadfile']['name']);
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadfile']['tmp_name'], $file)) {
echo "success";
} else {
echo "error";
}
thanx

I assume that the file upload works with other files?
Firstly, what is the filesystem that you're using, and the operating
system. Windows filesystems are very limiting on what characters you can
use.
If you have it working with another file, have you tried renaming that
to use characters which you think are causing the problems?
Lastly, what exactly is the error code returned from the $_FILES array?
Thanks,
Ash

Gentoo I believe uses the ext3 filesystem by default, which should be
perfectly capable of handling Greek characters.
What happens when you upload a normal small file now with non-Greek
characters and see what happens? Does that upload correctly?
Output the $_FILES array and look to see if the error code is anything
other than 0. If it is, that means there's a problem with the upload,
which probably won't show on the server log.

Ash
