Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: No ending delimiter '^' found

[DameonMason]

Im new to PHP 5 and have not coded in about 3 years so now im trying to make a gallery script for for a friend that still have the eregi functions in them. So far so good but the one little error that keeps coming up is the No ending delimiter. My code is as follows

 

if ($this->iswindows) {

$AbsoluteFilename = preg_replace('^'.preg_quote(realpath($this->config_document_root)), realpath($this->config_document_root), $AbsoluteFilename);

$AbsoluteFilename = str_replace($this->osslash, '/', $AbsoluteFilename);

}

 

Obviously i have replaced eregi with preg_replace but now i keep getting the same error. I have tried the blogs and tried their advice but still no luck. Any advice would be much appreciated.

$AbsoluteFilename = preg_replace('/^'.preg_quote(realpath($this->config_document_root), '/') . '/', realpath($this->config_document_root), $AbsoluteFilename);

Wow thanks for the fast reply. You are a LEGEND it has taken me two hours to try and figure out.

New to the forum. Is this topic listed as solved now. Is there a spesific reason for the new functions needing the extra syntax changes or is that all part of the move to PHP 5.3?

It's part of the preg/PCRE syntax for regular expressions, there are delimiters either side of a regex, you can choose pretty much anything so say

~regex-here~

or

#regex-here#

 

are both acceptable. You can also add modifiers after the second delimiter, such as "i" to make it case insensitive

Take a look here for more information
