Comparing changes: https://github.com/smarty-php/smarty/compare/v4.3.1...v4.4.1 It is noticeable that Smarty 4.3.1 does not officially support PHP 8.3. Is only supported with 4.4.0. Remark: During tests with Smarty 4.5.1, it was noticed that the following warning occurs: Deprecated: Using the unregistered function "function_exists" in a template is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use Smarty::registerPlugin to explicitly register a custom modifier. As of Smarty 5.X.X, templates must be revised again. The Smarty release 5.0.2 is already officially available. However, integration into FlatPress is not entirely trivial.

# regex_replace
|
|
|
|
A regular expression search and replace on a variable. Use the
|
|
[`preg_replace()`](https://www.php.net/preg_replace) syntax from the PHP
|
|
manual.
|
|
|
|
## Basic usage
|
|
```smarty
|
|
{$myVar|regex_replace:"/foo/":"bar"}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> **Note**
|
|
>
|
|
> Although Smarty supplies this regex convenience modifier, it is
|
|
> usually better to apply regular expressions in PHP, either via custom
|
|
> functions or modifiers. Regular expressions are considered application
|
|
> code and are not part of presentation logic.
