Trying to preg_replace but not working

[ballhogjoni]

Hi all,

 

I am trying to find a url in a string and replace with another url but I can't seem to get this to work. I know the first parameter is correct. Any help would be great!

 

$sCardHoldersSay = preg_replace( '/(http:\/\/www1\.xxxxxxxxx\.com\/partners\/links\/cardholders\/details\.asp\?idmin=)([0-9]+)(&tempid=568261)/',FACS_href.'/card-holders-say/'.$url_1.'/'.preg_replace('/ /','-',$sIssuer).'.html',$sDefinitionList );

You should try the regex forum

If I had to guess something you should try escaping the : => \:

 

$sCardHoldersSay = preg_replace( '/(http:\/\/www1\.xxxxxxxxx\.com....

I believe the ":" is special character that needs to be escaped  \:

 

$sCardHoldersSay = preg_replace( '/(http\:\/\/www1\.xxxxxxxxx\.com.....

I know I have to escape it when I use preg_match.. but I might be wrong here.

No errrors, i figured it out. I decided to echo out the result and see what the isszue was, come to find out I forgot I had another preg_replace() rewriting what I change earlier. So I was rewriting the url on accident. Its fixed now though. Sorry for wasting your time
