Hi list, I have a class which I use to parse simple bbcode inside some comments. I noticed on PHP5 that scope of preg_replace function is changed when function is called inside a class. To the point: [CODE] class PHS_editor { ... function parse_content( $str = null ) { $from_arr = array( "@\[B\](.*?)\[\/B\]@sim", "@\[U\](.*?)\[\/U\]@sim", "@\[I\](.*?)\[\/I\]@sim", "@\[URL=([^\]]*)\]([^\[]*?)\[\/URL\]@sim", "@\[IMG=([^\]]*)\]@semi", "@\[QUOTE=([^\]]*)\]([^\[]*?)\[\/QUOTE\]@semi" ); $to_arr = array( '<b>\1</b>', '<u>\1</u>', '<i>\1</i>', '<a href="\1" target="_blank">\2</a>', "'<img src=\"'.stripslashes( \*$this->get_image_location*( '\\1' ) ).'\" border=\"0\">'", "'<table width=\"98%\" align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" class=\"form_type\">". "<tr>". "<td class=\"maintext\">'.stripslashes( \*$this->remove_mytags*( '\\2' ) ).'</td>". "</tr>". "</table>'" ); if( is_null( $str ) ) $str = $this->editor_content; return preg_replace( $from_arr, $to_arr, str_replace( " ", " ", nl2br( $str ) ) ); } ... } [/CODE] When it gets to parse [IMG] tags I get "Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in ...". So it seems they changed the scope for preg_replace callback functions. As this function is called inside the method shouldn't it have the scope of the class? Is there a workaround for this? I cannot declare a function get_image_location which will staticly call the method bcuz I use variables from instanced class. Thnx, Andy
