Re: [PHP] Using eregi_replace()

[Marek Kilimajer]

And besides ereg_replace would not work becase it's greedy, .* would 
match "going", than "going" would not be found and the whole match would 
fail.

you mean
$newtext= ereg_replace(".*?(hello.*going).*","\\1",$text);
??
i would suggest preg_replace in favour to ereg_replace:
$newtext= preg_replace("!.*?(hello.*going).*!","$1",$text);
it is more powerfull, faster and widely available.

echo $newtext;
?>
...........
Thank you.
