Have you tried escaping the : with a \?
Like:
mb_ereg_replace('^(.*)this is the test\: replace(.*)$', '', $contents
,'UTF-8');
Also, have you tried removing the : and adjusting the input string to
verify your belief that it's the :?
HTH,

Subject: [PHP] Regex not working with ":"
Hi there,
I am trying to remove a text which does contain a : inside. Somehow the
regex does not match, no matter what I do:
$contents = mb_ereg_replace('^(.*)this is the test: replace(.*)$', '',
$contents ,'UTF-8');
Looks like this is a result of the :.
Does anybody have an idea how to do this?
Thank you for any help.
Merlin
