James, Actually the interpreter will evaluate the '\1'. '1' . '\2' into one string before passing it to preg_replace So it will yield up as I originally wrote it, and it won't work. Elias "Jason Wong" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > On Friday

[PHP] tricky preg_replace and how to escape the \{occurencenumber}

This script will output 'testa.gif' now how can i make it produce 'test1.gif' ? if i replace the: '\1a\2' with '\11\2' it will understand to replace with occurence number 11 ! How can i escape the 2nd '1' so it is considered as a string an not another number. Elias -- PHP General Mailing
