Is this what you're doing?
echo preg_replace('/http:\/\/(www\.|)zshare\.net\/video\/([^\/]+)/Uis',
'', 'http://www.zshare.net/video/541070871c7a8d9c');
echo "\n";
The "U" modifier turns the plus ungreedy so that it matches
only the first character. And what's the "$3" about?
Are you doing this?
echo preg_replace('/http:\/\/(www\.|)zshare\.net\/video\/([^\/]+)/Uis',
'$3', 'http://www.zshare.net/video/541070871c7a8d9c');
echo "\n";
I think someone mentioned that the index "$3" doesn't exist.
If you change it to "$2" you would get the correct result
because "$2" mathces "5" and the rest ("41070871c7a8d9c")
remains unreplaced. At least that's what I think is going
on...
