Re: [PHP] problem with preg_replace

Thx Erik, it works great except for one detail. It matches numbers too. Can you fix it so it matches only words please ? For example: $file = 'this is a number 1231 test.'; $words = 'test|number'; Result: [tag]this[/tag] [tag]is[/tag] [tag]a[/tag] [tag]nu[/tag] [sample]number[/sample] [tag]1231[/t
