RE: [PHP] Re: preg_replace("/^\//".. doesnt work?
that's probably what he meant... but what he asked for was how to "replace the first '/' in $a" if you have $a="abc/def", the regex "^/" will not replace the first "/" in your string, which was my point :-) > -Original Message- > From: James Taylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: preg_replace("/^\//".. doesnt work? > > Err, that's what he wanted > > On Wednesday 20 February 2002 12:13 pm, you wrote: > > Also note: > > > > "^" matches the beginning of the string, so "^\/" > > will only match a "/" at the beginning of the > > string (not the first occurence of "/") > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] Re: preg_replace("/^\//".. doesnt work?
Also note: "^" matches the beginning of the string, so "^\/" will only match a "/" at the beginning of the string (not the first occurence of "/") > -Original Message- > From: Philip Hallstrom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Subject: [PHP] Re: preg_replace("/^\//".. doesnt work? > >$a = "/test/"; >$a = preg_replace("/^\//", "", $a); >echo $a; > > On Wed, 20 Feb 2002, John Ericson wrote: > > > > I want preg_replace to replace the first '/' in $a with '' so that the > > echo function echoes "test/", but instead it echoes "/test/" as if > > preg_replace didnt worked?
