(2) preg_replace_callback(): Requires argument 2

Hi,

I'm getting this error:

(2) preg_replace_callback(): Requires argument 2, '', to be a valid callback

Here's the line where the problem is:

$file_contents = preg_replace_callback("!{$ldq}\*.*?\*{$rdq}!se","",$file_contents);

I think it has something to do with an upgrade in the PHP. How do I correct this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Read the manual. http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace-callback.php

You're missing the callback.

 

To be honest I'm trying to fix a problem in a script which I did not create. My coding skills are extremely limited. How exactly do I add the callback?

 

Well, if you just want the original script to work, you can try changing preg_replace_callback with just preg_replace?

Try this:

$file_contents = preg_replace("!{$ldq}\*.*?\*{$rdq}!se","",$file_contents);

Code (markup):

 

I get this error when I change it back to how it originally was.

(8192) preg_replace(): The /e modifier is deprecated, use preg_replace_callback instead

 

I'm trying to setup the Arfooo directory script on Godaddy shared hosting. Here's a screenshot of the error I get immediately after setup.

The second parameter of the preg_replace_callback has to be a function that'll accept one parameter and return the processed value.

More visually:

function mycallbackfunc($text){
// Do something with $text
// Then return your value
}

 

If you need to do it quickly, use this (I removed the e options):

$file_contents = preg_replace("!{$ldq}\*.*?\*{$rdq}!s","",$file_contents);

Thanks! That actually worked.
