Why does this work: $contents = eregi_replace("(\")(.(/))*[A-Z0-9_/-]+(.gif|.jpg)", "\"blah.gif", $contents);
But this does not: preg_match_all("(\")(.(/))*[A-Z0-9_/-]+(.gif|.jpg)", $contents, $matches); for ($i=0; $i< count($matches[0]); $i++) { echo "matched: ".$matches[0][$i]."\n" } I get this error: Warning: Unknown modifier '(' in /home/littleduck/www/www/newcontrol/temp/fread.php on line 20 The first example finds/replaces fine. The second does not find at all. (If I replace the regular expression string with something simple like "(gif|jpg)" it works.) Thank you for any hints!
