preg_replace not supported in CSWS_PHP0102?

[Dieter Rossbach]

I took this from the php manuals:



#
# Display the header
#
echo " Testing the preg_replace () function
\n";

$patterns = array ("/(19|20)(\d{2})-(\d{1,2})-(\d{1,2})/",

"/^\s*{(\w+)}\s*=/");

$replace = array ("\\3/\\4/\\1\\2", "$\\1 =");

print preg_replace ($patterns, $replace, "{startDate} = 1999-5-27");
?>

when I run it, I get:

Testing the preg_replace () function

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: preg_replace() in /sys_dr/public_html/test.php on line 14

The same happens with other preg functions.
Do I have to load an additional module?

The docs here:

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php

state that preg_replace is present in all versions of PHP 4, and the kit you have claims to be based on 4.1.1. So it seems to me it should be there.

I think the next step would be to either download the source code from

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/ips/apache/csws_php.html

and try to track down how this got omitted from the hp kit, or, if you have a support contract, log a call and get hp support to do that for you.

The source code helped, thank you:

the extention php_pcre.exe has to be activated in php.ini

Now it works

Thank you
