regex for quoted text within a string

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I am still getting the hang of regex expressions, but I cant seem to figure out how I would escape quoted text within a string. The qualitifcations for escaping them would be to have [a space] [a double quote] [any text] [a double quote] [a space] but there cant be anything besides a space before and after, not even a newline.

here's what i have so far:

Code: $pattern = '/ "." /';
$replacement = '/ "." /';
$val = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $val);
But it's not working. I've always wanted to learn how to use regular expressions and like I said I am new to them.
