I had this little bit of code:

function parseTemplateData($file){
$file2=preg_replace_callback(
"/<edit(.*?)>/s",
"parseEditTag",
$file);


echo $file2;
}

and that did what I needed, so I thought I'll put it in a class:

class FOO{

public function parseTemplateData($file){
$file2=preg_replace_callback(
"/<edit(.*?)>/s",
"parseEditTag",
$file);


echo $file2;
}

public function parseEditTag($tag_content){
....

}

It is, of course looking for parseEditTag *outside* the class. So, I
thought:

$file2=preg_replace_callback(
"/<edit(.*?)>/s",
"$this->parseEditTag",
$file);

Which failed.

Then I thought:

$file2=preg_replace_callback(
"/<edit(.*?)>/s",
EDIT_PAGE::parseEditTag(),
$file);

Now that calls the function, but doesn't pass in the match.

So I thought I'd try to use create_function. But even if I could
figure out how to pass in the matches, I still can't get it to call the
method in the class.

So, I'm thinking there must be another plan. Or another beer.

Maybe I'm just thinking too perl!
