preg_replace compilation failed:) PHP

Question

Good day! Using this one:

#\[img\]([^\/\\]*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp))\[/img\]#si

I wanna replace the text with this one:

<img src="$1"/>

The error is: Warning: preg_replace(): Compilation failed: missing terminating ] for character class

I have tested it on regex101.com, it works well in preg_match mode.

P.S. Is the first one safe enough? Thanks!

this works for me [img]([^\/\\\]*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp))[/img] — user8661184

so this is solved? I was just about to ask if you have a URL to a shared regex from regex101 that I could take a look... — Rushikumar

You need to escape the closing ]

Change:

#\[img\]([^\/\\]*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp))\[/img\]#si

to:

#\[img\]([^\/\\\\]*\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|bmp))\[/img\]#si
