Output Period in preg_replace

[maxudaskin]

I have the current code:

$coord = preg_replace('"([0-9]{2}|[0-9]{3})([0-9]{2})([nNeS])([0-9]{3})([0-9]{2})([eEsW])"', '\\1\.\\2 \\3,\\4\.\\5 \\6', $coord);
	$coord = explode(',', $coord);

	if(sizeof($coord) < 2) {
		return 'ERROR';
	}

	$coord[0] = explode(' ', $coord[0]);
	$coord[1] = explode(' ', $coord[1]);

	$latt = ($coord[0][1] == 'N') ? $coord[0][0] : '-' . $coord[0][0];
	$long = ($coord[1][1] == 'E') ? $coord[1][0] : '-' . $coord[1][0];

	return $latt . ',' . $long;

 

That I want to return \\1.\\2 \\3,\\4.\\5 \\6 where the periods output as themselves. Unfortunately, it's not working as I expected.

 

Thank you for your time.

TIPS for asking a regex question:

 

- give an example of $coord

- give an example of expected match

- show what it is giving you instead

- be more specific than "it's not working"
