Don't know if this is your problem but you need to escape the trailing ]
as well:
preg_replace('/\[[a-z]\]/i', .....
Thanks, but that wasn't quite it, either. This code:
<?php
function makeLink($title) {
$returnString="<b>$title</b>";
return $returnString;
}
$articleText="This is a very [long] string.";
$articleText=preg_replace('/\[[a-z]\]/i' , makeLink($1), $articleText);
print $articleText;
?>
produces this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting T_VARIABLE
or '$' in /home/user/public_html/testpage.php on line 9
I'm sorry that I didn't include the error message in my original
email. Also, I got the same error with and without the last closing
bracket escaped.
