preg_replace to pred_replace_callback

[kwpreds]

I have the following line of code in my program

$html = preg_replace_callback(‘/\{DATE\s+(.*?)\}/’,create_function(‘$matches’, ‘return date($matches[1]);’),$html );

I am getting a warning about it being deprecated.  I have tried the following two lines separately and get an error with both.

$html = preg_replace_callback(‘/\{DATE\s+(.*?)\}/’, function($matches) { return date($matches[1]); },$html );

$html = preg_replace_callback(‘/\{DATE\s+(.*?)\}/’, function($matches) { return date($matches[1]); },$html );

Can anyone help me convert from preg_replace to preg_replace_callback.

What error have you gotten from both lines?

I will go on the server error log and copy and paste the error.

If both lines look correct, I can try again.  Thoughts?

I made an error on one of the two lines used.  These are the two lines.

$html = preg_replace_callback(‘/\{DATE\s+(.*?)\}/’,create_function(‘$matches’, ‘return date($matches[1]);’),$html );

$html = preg_replace_callback(‘/\{DATE\s+(.*?)\}/’, function($matches) { return date($matches[1]); },$html );

create_callback is the function that's been deprecated - neither preg_replace nor preg_replace_callback have. The second bit of code looks OK from a cursory glance. What's the actual error message you're seeing from it?
