Replacing HEX with HEX in PHP - preg_replace()

nobugus

Hello,

This might be more of a PHP-thing than REGEX, but here's my problem:

I am using a HEX value to find and replace 'white spaces' with 'x':
take this example:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

$string = preg_replace('/[\x{20}]/u', 'x', $string);

But I want 'x' to be a HEX number that replaces '20', I have tried the following with no luck:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

$string = preg_replace('/[\x{20}]/u', '\x{21}', $string);

I am replacing it with somthing outside of the displayable charecter range, so the replacement has to be in (and stored as) HEX form, can anyone help?

Heya, nobugus.

I award 5 points for creative use of B tags. However, I must deduct 5 points for failing to use CODE tags.

Better luck next time.

Please use CODE tags when posting source code:

[CODE=php]
PHP code goes here.
[/CODE]

You should be able to do this with a simple str_replace():

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

$string = str_replace("\x20", "\x21", $string);
