preg replace

How do i do a preg replace for

this email address [email protected] to [email protected]

[mbeals]

you just want to replace that one email address with the other?  is it alone in a variable or contained in a string?

 

Lets assume it's contained in a string with other stuff.  Since it is a simple match and replace, use str_replace instead, as it's MUCH quicker then preg_replace... only use preg functions if you have to.

 

$string = str_replace("[email protected]", "[email protected]", $string);

If the scenario you provided in your first post is true, the first reply to this thread would do it.

i know but for some reason its not working.

i believe since the string is coming from a DB its not working properly

 

Thats why i want to try it using preg_replace? does anyone know how to do that.

can you post the input string?  preg_replace will do the exact same thing when it's just looking for a string.  If str_replace doesn't work, preg_replace probably won't either.

 

run:

echo $string;
$string = str_replace("[email protected]", "[email protected]", $string);

echo $string;

 

and post what the result is
