Regexp question

[iranor]

I have a string that looks like this:

$Data = 'Sometext {value1} text {value2} bla';

With a function, I replace {value1} with some text, but I don't replace {value2} and I want to remove that text.

I can't find the right regular expression to remove all { } with the text inside...

Tried $FormTable = ereg_replace('\{[a-z]\}', '', $FormTable);

Hi

$FormTable = ereg_replace('\{[a-z][red][b]*[/b][/red]\}', '', $FormTable);

would it not be easier to do a string replace? (bearing in mind the statement in the php manual

If you don't need fancy replacing rules (like regular expressions), you should always use this function instead of ereg_replace() or preg_replace().

referring to str_replace

http://www.php.net/str_replace

$Data = 'Sometext {value1} text {value2} bla';
$input = array('{value1}', '{value2}');
$output = array{'some new text', '');

echo str_replace($input, $output, $Data);
