Can you breakdown the sed command for me so I can try to adapt it?
Hopefully someone can help out here. This is probably fairly basic, but I've searched and tried several variations of the solutions presented in these forums, so I'll go ahead and ask.

MB_EREGI_REPLACE(3) 1 MB_EREGI_REPLACE(3)mb_eregi_replace - Replace regular expression with multibyte support ignoring caseSYNOPSIS
string mb_eregi_replace (string $pattern, string $replace, string $string, [string $option = "msri"])
DESCRIPTION
Scans $string for matches to $pattern, then replaces the matched text with $replacement.
PARAMETERS
o $pattern
- The regular expression pattern. Multibyte characters may be used. The case will be ignored.
o $replace
- The replacement text.
o $string
- The searched string.
o $option
-$option has the same meaning as in mb_ereg_replace(3).
RETURN VALUES
The resultant string or FALSE on error.
NOTES
Note
The internal encoding or the character encoding specified by mb_regex_encoding(3) will be used as the character encoding for this
function.
Warning
Never use the e modifier when working on untrusted input. No automatic escaping will happen (as known from preg_replace(3)). Not
taking care of this will most likely create remote code execution vulnerabilities in your application.
