Text to convert in file result.txt...
<Date>Oct 31 2006 12:00AM</Date>

File...
<?php
$filename = "result.txt";
$data = preg_replace('/<Date>(.*)<\/Date>/Uie', "'<Date>'. date(\"dmY\",strtotime('$i')) .'</Date>'", file_get_contents($filename));
$fp = fopen($filename, "w");
fwrite($fp, $data);
fclose($fp);
?>

Needs to be converted to dmY
Can't get it to work

Plz can anyone point me in the right direction

Thanks in advance

Backreferences are numeric according to the 'n'th parenthesized pattern' i.e. the first backreference is $1, the second $2 and so on.

So, change your $i to $1, and it should fix the issue:

<?php
$filename = "result.txt";
$data = preg_replace('/<Date>(.*)<\/Date>/Uie', 
        "'<Date>'. date(\"dmY\",strtotime('[COLOR=Yellow]$1[/COLOR]')) .'</Date>'",
        file_get_contents($filename));
$fp = fopen($filename, "w");
fwrite($fp, $data);
fclose($fp);
?>
