networkthis Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 $quotes = ereg_replace("[^']", "`", $quotes ); Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/106020-help-with-regex-replace-single-quotes/#findComment-543365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 str_replace will be considerably faster than a function that employes regular expressions. $text = "corbin's sentence"; echo str_replace('\'', '`', $text); //corbin`s sentence Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/106020-help-with-regex-replace-single-quotes/#findComment-543366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hrmmm.... By the way, networkthis's code has an error. The pattern [^'] means any character that is not '. So, you would really want to remove the ^.
