After over 8 hours of testing various combinations of regular expression syntax, I have managed to get the following to work for changing the URL parameter syntax in a link to use slashes instead of standard URL parameter syntax.....

Code:

$source = preg_replace("/(a href=)(\")([^?]+)([^\"]+)(\")/e", "'$1$3'.str_replace(array('&','?','+','='),'/','$4')", "$source");

Hope this saves someone 8 hours. It turns out that the main stumbling block was the use of the /e flag at the end of the preg pattern. Without that little "e" after the pattern, PHP wouldn't execute the substring search on the 4th substring that contained the parameters needing slash replacement. Now it does. Now on with the search-engine friendly cart mod!
