The string
abc/def/*
or
abc/def/*/xyz
How can I use preg_replace_callback to replace everything after /* with a certain string?
Like
abc/def/replacement

I don't know, but i guess you don't want to manualy chech for present of "/*", then cut the string to the position of "/*" and then add the replacement?kajacx– kajacx2012-02-21 20:02:32 +00:00Commented Feb 21, 2012 at 20:02

So in both examples, the result will be the same (the value you have under "Like") ?salathe– salathe2012-02-21 20:33:10 +00:00Commented Feb 21, 2012 at 20:33

<?php
$string = "abc/dc/*bla/foo";
$string = preg_replace_callback(
'~/\*.*~',
create_function(
'$match',
'return "/replacement";'
),
$string
);
var_dump($string);
?>
output
string 'abc/dc/replacement' (length=19)

Something like this should work:
$text = "abc/def/*/xyz";
function rep($matches)
{
return "/replacement";
}
echo preg_replace_callback("|/\*.*|", "rep", $text);
Do you really need to use preg_replace_callback though? Here is an equivalent version with preg_replace:
$text = "abc/def/*/xyz";
echo preg_replace("|/\*.*|", "/replacement", $text);
