<para>
The behavior of this function is almost identical to
<function>preg_replace</function>, except for the fact that instead of
<parameter>replacement</parameter> parameter, one should specify a
<parameter>callback</parameter>.

<para>
A callback that will be called and passed an array of matched elements
in the <parameter>subject</parameter> string. The callback should
return the replacement string. This is the callback signature:

<para>
You'll often need the <parameter>callback</parameter> function
for a <function>preg_replace_callback</function> in just one place.
In this case you can use an
<link linkend="functions.anonymous">anonymous function</link> to
declare the callback within the call to
<function>preg_replace_callback</function>. By doing it this way
you have all information for the call in one place and do not
clutter the function namespace with a callback function's name
not used anywhere else.
