[wp-hackers] Passing Key but Not Value?

[Chris Jean]

Here's what I came up with: http://sprunge.us/ZUOU

Your basic problem is that you stored the description no where. Your 
code was trying to find the description in the regular expression match, 
which doesn't make sense as the regex wouldn't match a description that 
didn't exist in the original text.

So, I turned the $acronyms global into an associative array that stores 
the acronym and the description. This is then used to generate an array 
of regular expressions that is fed to the preg_replace_callback. The 
callback then uses the global $acronyms array to put everything together.

While making the changes, I removed the 's' modifier for the regular 
expression as it wasn't needed, used preg_quote to ensure that the 
acronym text didn't break the regular expression, and added code to 
handle case differences in the matches. The output will normalize the 
capitalization of the match to fit the capitalization of the acronym in 
the array, so instances of "SSH", "ssh", or "sSH" will all print as "SSH".
