[PHP] eregi_replace probs

2001-11-16 Thread phantom 

function scan_string($str) {
$forbid = array (coke, tylenol, ford);
$swap = array (pepsi, advil, chevrolet);
for ($i = 0; $i  count ($forbid); $i++) {
 eregi_replace($forbid[$i],$swap[$i],$str);
}
}

I run this script, and I know the array's load up and the for...do loop
runs ok.  As does the passing variable ($str).

I enter a test script such as I like coke. and my returned value
remains I like coke.

It appears the eregi_replace is the problem.

Any idea why?

eregi_replace isn't your problem this funciton RETURNS the new string.

 function scan_string($str) {
 $forbid = array (coke, tylenol, ford);
 $swap = array (pepsi, advil, chevrolet);
 for ($i = 0; $i  count ($forbid); $i++) {
  $NEW_STRING = eregi_replace($forbid[$i],$swap[$i],$str);
 }
 return($NEW_STRING);
 }

sorry didn't notice the  in the args
you'll want this instead.

 function scan_string($str) {
 $forbid = array (coke, tylenol, ford);
 $swap = array (pepsi, advil, chevrolet);
 for ($i = 0; $i  count ($forbid); $i++) {
  $str = eregi_replace($forbid[$i],$swap[$i],$str);
 }
 }
