Ereg replace. - El Forum - 08-06-2008

Hi. :-)
I looked for this on the web but there was not anything which I can understand Wink

I have to use ereg_replace function in my app, but ereg syntax is very hard to understand. You all can try to explain me with simple words? Big Grin

Thank you.

Ps. Just to inform you: i have to replace every string which looks like this: "-" anthing "-" to: "<div>anything</div>".

Then

Code:
-hello-

would become

Code:
<div>hello</div>

I apologize but I never used this function and it's a bit complicated Big Grin

Thanks in advance.
