preg functions

[da_silvy]

I don't understand preg

Anyone got a good tutorial about preg_replace etc?

[cpradio]

I have never found any. I like looking at the comments made on php.net over ways they have used preg_replace, preg_match, etc.

Also, the PHP Bible talks a bit about it. So you may want to look into that book.

thanks, because i really don't understand it :P

LMAO!

Learn through reading other php scripts!

Its how i found out how to use it in the end.

"Learn through doing" best way... shame many dont use that either -- I can post a quick example later on (not got my scripts on me @ college) of how i replace BB Code for a SQL Query

(Unless some1 else does it)

But its pretty "funky" and "easy" to copy :P

Not everybody learns the same way...

I like reading through other people's scripts, but you have to make sure you're reading through good code, otherwise you'll pick up bad habbits.

Good point

Yeah I picked up a load of bad habbits with HTML that way, then when I tried my pages in Netscape they looked really bad. So I had to go and relearn everything properly
