Dale Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (My setup is in my sig) Here's my code function decode($source) { $source = html_entity_decode($source, ENT_QUOTES, "ISO-8859-1"); $source = preg_replace('/(\d+);/me',"chr(\\1)", $source); $source = preg_replace('/([a-f0-9]+);/mei',"chr(0x\\1)", $source); return $source; } Errors Warning: preg_replace(): The /e modifier is no longer supported, use preg_replace_callback Revised code Seems simple enough. so I changed preg_replace with preg_replace_callback New Errors Warning: preg_replace_callback(): Requires argument 2, 'chr(\1)', to be a valid callback Warning: preg_replace_callback(): Requires argument 2, 'chr(0x\1)', to be a valid callback I have been trying to fix this for two days now, and am posting here to find the answer. Since I'm so new to PHP, the pages on php.net don't make sense to me for this, and the answers that popup on StackOverflow are mostly criticisms of the questions people have posted about them, rather than answering the questions or providing a link to the duplicate question they complain about. My favorite answer was on a website that said to turn off warnings as the solution. Got a giggle from that one. I can't believe the fix is complicated, but for the life of me, I can't find it.

Larry Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Hey! Thanks for the question. My inclination is that there's got to be a simpler way to do whatever you're doing, as PHP has many encoding and decoding functions. Regardless, I imagine the working code would be something like $source = preg_replace_callback('/(\d+);/me', function($matches) { return chr($matches); }, $source); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
