[[SOLVED] preg_replace: newbie question abour regular expressions]

thanks a lot, super guru, it works perfectly, however, I don't understand the use of the backslash in that context. Can someone explain me why does it work?

[[SOLVED] preg_replace: newbie question abour regular expressions]

I think it wouldn't work because it would also replace the i letter inside words.

btw
I just noticed the regex forum. I should have posted that topic in it. If a mod moves it I wont be confused.

Is it possible in PHP to create "virtual directories" (like in wikipedia)?
for instance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Gretzky
There's no Wayne_Gretsky directory

another good example of what I'm looking for is this forum itself!
each topic is a "virtual" html file. How do you do that?

[FULLTEXT index problem]

I'm trying to do a MySQL Query but it doesn't work. (version 4.0.26)

When I put only one argument in MATCH, it shows no error but doesn't return anything

SELECT * FROM item WHERE MATCH (nom) against ('Huile');
or
SELECT * FROM item WHERE MATCH (nom_en) against ('Huile');

When I put two arguments:
SELECT * FROM item WHERE MATCH (nom,nom_en) against ('Huile');

It says: "Can't find FULLTEXT index matching the column list", but both nom and nom_en are FULLTEXT indexed.

Anyone can help? thank you

[Display a table before the content is loaded]

I'm quite sure there's a CSS property to set on to a Table, TD or TR that tells to moderatly recent browsers to display the table even if the content is not loaded yet. One of my friend is pretty good in CSS, he says he ever used that property but he forgot the name of it.
