正则表达式匹配重音符号，空格

Question

How can I replace the text, for example: c2stackoverflow to

span style="color:#ffdc50">stackoverflow</span>'

I try to do this:

<?php

$string = "c2stackoverflow";    
$string = preg_replace("/c2([A-Za-záàâãéèêíïóôõöúçñÁÀÂÃÉÈÍÏÓÔÕÖÚÇÑ ])+$/", '<span style="color:#ffdc50">$1</span>', $string);    
echo $string;

But the output is:

<span style="color:#ffdc50">w</span>

Answer 1

Since your original regex shows (by its final $) that you want to replace the entire remainging set of characters after c2, you may simply use this:

$string = preg_replace("/c2(.*)$/", '<span style="color:#ffdc50">$1</span>', $string);

Note that I replaced + by * so even a string like c2 will be replaced by <span style="color:#ffdc50"></span>.
