I have existing code doing in PCRE method and I would like to have same function in POSIX. Below is my example code did in PCRE.
<?php
$regex = "/(\d)/";
$content = "In the garden have dog,cat,23242,rabbit.";
echo preg_replace($regex,"<span style='color:green'>$1</span>",$content);
//Result:
//In the garden have dog,cat,<span style='color:green'>2</span><span style='color:green'>3</span><span style='color:green'>2</span><span style='color:green'>4</span><span style='color:green'>2</span>,rabbit.
I'm trying doing the samething in POXIS but unable to get the same output. Below is my example code did in POSIX.;
<?php
$regex = "([[:digit:]])";
$content = "In the garden have dog,cat,23242,rabbit."
echo ereg_replace($regex,"<span style='color:green'>$1</span>",$content);
//Result:
//In the garden have dog,cat,<span style='color:green'>$1</span><span style='color:green'>$1</span><span style='color:green'>$1</span><span style='color:green'>$1</span><span style='color:green'>$1</span>,rabbit.
Note that ereg_replace
,
This function was DEPRECATED in PHP 5.3.0, and REMOVED in PHP 7.0.0.
If your PHP environemnt does not support preg_replace
, use the current code with \\1
instead of $1
in the replacement pattern.
$regex = "([[:digit:]]+)";
$content = "In the garden have dog,cat,23242,rabbit.";
echo ereg_replace($regex,"<span style='color:green'>\\1</span>",$content);
// => In the garden have dog,cat,<span style='color:green'>23242</span>,rabbit.
