mb_ereg_replace_callback - Perform a regular expression search and replace with multibyte support using a callback
Manual
Code Examples

mb_ereg_replace_callback(
     string$pattern,
     callable$callback,
     string$string,
     [string|null$options = null]
): string|false|null

Scans string for matches to pattern, then replaces the matched text with the output of callback function.

The behavior of this function is almost identical to mb_ereg_replace, except for the fact that instead of replacement parameter, one should specify a callback.

Parameters

pattern

The regular expression pattern.

Multibyte characters may be used in pattern.

callback

A callback that will be called and passed an array of matched elements in the subject string. The callback should return the replacement string.

You'll often need the callback function for a mb_ereg_replace_callback in just one place. In this case you can use an anonymous function to declare the callback within the call to mb_ereg_replace_callback. By doing it this way you have all information for the call in one place and do not clutter the function namespace with a callback function's name not used anywhere else.

string

The string being checked.

options

The search option. See mb_regex_set_options for explanation.

Return Values

The resultant string on success, or false on error. If string is not valid for the current encoding, null is returned.

Notes

Note:

The internal encoding or the character encoding specified by mb_regex_encoding will be used as the character encoding for this function.

Changelog
