[CODE]
$info[0] = “/apple/farm/”;
$the_path = “/apple/”;
$cat_rep = preg_replace(“/^$the_path/”, “”, $info[0]);

echo $cat_rep;
[/CODE]

Im trting to get $cat_rep to contain “farm/”, instead I get this error:
Warning: Unknown modifier ‘a’ in

Please help. I see how its doing somethign with / and trying to end the regex with apple as a modifier. What should I do?

@pyroJun 18.2003 — Seeing how a slash ( / ) is a regexp special character, you must use a backslash ( ) to escape them.

[code=php]<?PHP
$info[0] = "/apple/farm/";
$the_path = "\/apple\/";
$cat_rep = preg_replace("/^$the_path/", "", $info[0]);

echo $cat_rep;
?>[/code]
