Parameters

The regular expression pattern.
Multibyte characters may be used in pattern.
- replacement

The replacement text.
- string

The string being checked.

- Matching condition can be set by option parameter. If i is specified for this parameter, the case will be ignored. If x is specified, white space will be ignored. If m is specified, match will be executed in multiline mode and line break will be included in '.'. If p is specified, match will be executed in POSIX mode, line break will be considered as normal character. If e is specified, replacement string will be evaluated as PHP expression.
Return Values
The resultant string on success, or FALSE on error.
Notes
Note:
The internal encoding or the character encoding specified by mb_regex_encoding() will be used as the character encoding for this function.
Never use the e modifier when working on untrusted input. No automatic escaping will happen (as known from preg_replace()). Not taking care of this will most likely create remote code execution vulnerabilities in your application.
