No, sory, my bad typing. It's not the problem.. I have the same on both caxses, only chnage the variable $id $file = "screen/temp/7a45gfdi6icpan1jtb1j99o925_1_mini.jpg" $id = '70'; echo preg_replace('#(screen/)temp/(.+?)_1(.+?\.jpg)#', '$1'.$id, $file); Get: 0 file = "screen/temp/7a45gfdi6icpan1jtb1j99o925_1_mini.jpg"; $id = test; echo preg_replace('#(screen/)temp/(.+?)_1(.+?\.jpg)#', '$1'.$id, $file); Get: screen/test What is wrong with having na integer on the var ?
