Hi. Are there any limitations of preg_replace and is there a way to change them (for example with ini_set)? I got a php 4.4.7 on a linux-webhoster which crashes without error-message on this script: <?php $txt = ""; for ($i = 0; $i < 2000; $i++) { $txt .= "<a href=\"helloworld.htm\" title=\"my title\"><img src=\"/mypic.jpg\"></a><br />\n"; } $txt = preg_replace("/<a(.*)href=\"\\index.htm\">/isU", "<a$1href=\"\\\">", $txt); print $txt; ?> If I loop only 1000 times or don't use (.*)->$1 on the regular expression, it works. It works as well on a local WAMP-Installation. Any ideas about that? __________________________________ Ihre erste Baustelle?
