am i getting my regex wrong?

[Zugzwangle]

im very new to regex - does:

						$aVal2 = str_replace('/\{\[/', "{", $aVal);
					$aVal3 = str_replace('/\]\}/', "}", $aVal2);

find and replace "{[" and "]}" with { and }

 

please help if you can!!

str_replace is not regex. It matches and replaces the literal string.  so you don't need delimiters or escapes.  So you would do

 

$aVal2 = str_replace('{[','{',$aVa1);
