[SOLVED] matching/replacing problem

[resago]

this

    $a=preg_replace('/md5 *\( *(.+) *\)/is','$1',$a);#in case we missed some in the first pass

 

mostly works, except for:

 

before:

$sQuery = "UPDATE `Profiles` SET `Password` = md5(`Password`) WHERE `ID`='{$memb_arr['ID']}'";

 

and after:

$sQuery = "UPDATE `Profiles` SET `Password` = `Password`) WHERE `ID`='{$memb_arr['ID']}'";

 

any suggestions? I'm guessing cause my regex is greedy, but I don't see how its matching if its being greedy.

its leaving the ) in the match for some reason?

 

the regex is to remove the md5 function from my scripts without me having to edit them all by hand.

it reads the entire file into a string, hense the /s

$a=preg_replace('/md5 *\( *([^\)]+) *\)/is','$1',$a);

 

try a different approach
