Re: [PHP] Re: help using ereg_replace()
liljim, Thanks for the advice (and especially the explanation!) -- I note that you chose the Perl regexp engine rather than the e regexp engine (POSIX?). Quite a few people recommended O'Reilly's Mastering Regular Expressions over the weekend. Does anyone know if it covers the Perl syntax*? This seems like a good book to learn more.

Hi Erik, Thanks for the advice (and especially the explanation!) -- I note that you chose the Perl regexp engine rather than the e regexp engine (POSIX?). Quite a few people recommended O'Reilly's Mastering Regular Expressions over the weekend. Does anyone know if it covers the Perl syntax*? This seems like a good book to learn more. The book (though going into examples using perl mainly) gives you a general grounding in regular expressions - I learned php before perl, and javascript, though the book has equipped me equally well for all three. I love it, and would recommend it for anyyone who's even vaguely interested in regexes.

RE: [PHP] Re: help using ereg_replace()
I own and have read Mastering Regular Expressions (excellent book). I've programmed perl for 3 years and have recently started migrating one of my projects into php. I can't stand ereg, I prefer preg. While functions such as substitute and match differ in syntax from perl to php, this book will teach you quite a bit about how to effectively use preg, which i've found to be easier, and faster than ereg. For the record, I like perl's syntax better... ;p Hope this helps, /bart -Original Message- From: Erik Price [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 11:26 AM To: liljim Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: help using ereg_replace() liljim, Thanks for the advice (and especially the explanation!) -- I note that you chose the Perl regexp engine rather than the e regexp engine (POSIX?).
