    Hello, please help me because I’m trying all without success.

    I have created this simple snippet:

    $link = 'mysite.com/es/home.html'
$link = ereg_replace('/es/','/en/', $link);
return $link;


    these easy php lines must print on screen: mysite.com/en/home.html

    but it never happens!!

    I’m going crazy, i have tried to use chr(47) but no success
    also I have tried it with php alone and it works

    somebody knows what is happening?

      ereg_replace from PHP Net...
      This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.
      You could try :
      $link = 'mysite.com/es/home.html'
$link = preg_replace('/es/','en', $link);
return $link;
