preg

I don't know much about preg besides a ^,$,{.+ | *} and more

Now I tried a test, and replacing this:

PHP Code:


			
<?php



$var = "foobar";

$reg = "^\/{foo}\/$";

if (preg_match($reg, $var))

{

    echo preg_replace($reg, '', $var);

}



?>

I got this error:
No ending delimiter '^' found
ANd if I remove that,
I get the $ not found. So can someone help me?

For the preg_* functions, the pattern needs to be surrounded by delimiters. Usually the delimiter is a forward slash: something like /^foo/

The PCRE Pattern Syntax page on the PHP manual should be more than enough to get you sorted.
