Question

I have some (HTML) text in a string and in that text there are several occurences of this “Group” <br><hr/><br>. The simple regex (<br><hr\/><br>) finds the first occurence. What I’m looking for is a way to use preg_replace to replace all of the occurences with another text.

When I use the regex I have with preg_replace, I just get an empty string – with no errors in my log file.

This preg_replace works for me: preg_replace('@(<br><hr\/><br>)@', ' *POST* ', $string);

Answer 1

Test it

 $output=preg_replace_callback("#<br><hr\/><br>#",function($matches){print_r($matches[0]."\n");return 'replace Text';},' '.$str.' ');
