Need front-end development training?
Frontend Masters is the best place to get it. They have courses on all the most important front-end technologies, from React to CSS, from Vue to D3, and beyond with Node.js and Full Stack.
Keep in mind that the POSIX Regex functions are deprecated in PHP 5.3.0 and removed in PHP 6.
See http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.eregi-replace.php
AndiD is right. Use preg_* functions instead of eregi_* functions.
what does this do though? im thinking about making a mail:to link on the footer of my site :
http://attilahajzer.host-ed.net/
take a look and see if it’d be worth it.
Alternatively since eregi_replace is deprecated use preg_replace thus
$stringa = “This should format my email address [email protected]“;
$pattern = “/([a-z0-9][_a-z0-9.-][email protected]([0-9a-z][_0-9a-z-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,6})/i”;
$replace = “\\1“;
$text = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $stringa);
echo htmlspecialchars($text);
Actually it should be something like
$pattern = “/([a-z0-9][_a-z0-9.-][email protected]([0-9a-z][_0-9a-z-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,6})/i”;
$replace = ‘\\1‘;
$text = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $stringa);
Actualy it should be something like
$pattern = "/([a-z0-9][_a-z0-9.-][email protected]([0-9a-z][_0-9a-z-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,6})/i";
$replace = '\\1';
$text = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $stringa);
