Re: [PHP] Regular Expressions (PCRE library)
No im not saying that, im merely saying that in my given example even if i
turn the Hello into Ello it does not replace it, besides :
^ = assert start of subject (or line, in multiline mode) *
I took this directly from the PHP manual, so i assumed that the default mode
would be the first one, however, i tried the following and it looks like it
was the latter after all
$test = "ello, end this is now the End.";
$test = preg_replace('# *^e#i', 'A', $test);
Will result into : Allo, end this is now the End.
So, i guess you were right after all :)
Thanks for sticking with me though!
Best regards from Vienna,
Jürgen

So you're saying this:
echo preg_replace("/^[eE]/", "A", "Eek!");
Does not result in "Aek!" ?

Well, i know it should work, but it does not work. Even if i Change the first letter into e or E it does not work. This is so frustrating, this is prolly the most easiest regular expression i could start with and yet i fail and nobody seems to know why it aint working neither > This should work.

This should work. However if you're using $test as defined above it does not
start with 'e' or 'E' so what output did you expect??
