ereg_replace replaces to mutch
Hello,
I use a javascript ticker in my header which contains the news in a array like that tickercontents[0]='Message1' tickercontents[1]='Message2' tickercontents[2]='Message3' now i want to write an easy script that i can run from my server to change the message and was thinking about something like that $replacement = 'New Message1'; $file = "header.html"; $fh = fopen($file,"r") or die("can't open file"); $file = fread($fh, filesize($file)) or die("can't read file"); $replaced = ereg_replace("(tickercontents\[0\]\=)(')(.*)(')","\\1\\2$ersatz\\4",$file1) or die("can't do that sorry"); .......... the only problem is ereg_replace in not stopping at the end high coma in message1 it stops at the end high coma of message3. I there a way to make it stop after the first one. I appreciate any thoughts Thanks chris

Rather than using replace

This may not fit your requirements, but you then again it may give you something to ponder: In "header.php" <html> .... <script> .... <?PHP // Assume you ahve a list of message in the array $messageList $index = 0; foreach ($messageList as $message) print "tickercontents[".$index++."]='".$message."'"; ?> ... </script> ..... Good luck! Christopher
