I have lines of php code that I need to change
while (eregi("([-]?)\"([^\"]+)\"", $a, $regs)) {
to
while (preg_match("([-]?)\"([^\"]+)\"", $a, $regs)) {
and
if (strlen($word) < $min_word_length || (!eregi($pattern, remove_accents($word))) || ($common[$word] == 1)) {
to
if (strlen($word) < $min_word_length || (!preg_match($pattern, remove_accents($word))) || ($common[$word] == 1)) {
I tried all possible(I can) combinations, I searched on google and here also but can't figure it out.
you did not use the delimiters.... you can see the manual php.net/manual/en/regexp.reference.delimiters.php.
try this "/([-]?)\"([^\"]+)\"/" (i'm only adding the "/" at the beginning and the end of the string "/$pattern/" )
if (strlen($word) < $min_word_length || (!preg_match("/$pattern/", remove_accents($word))) || ($common[$word] == 1)) {
