How can errors like "Parse error" or "Failed evaluating code" be resolved when using preg_replace with the "e" modifier in PHP?

When using preg_replace with the "e" modifier in PHP, errors like "Parse error" or "Failed evaluating code" can be resolved by avoiding the use of the "e" modifier and instead using preg_replace_callback to evaluate the replacement code. This ensures that the replacement code is evaluated as a callback function rather than as PHP code directly. 

// Example code snippet to replace using preg_replace_callback instead of "e" modifier
$string = "Hello, [name]!";
$replaced_string = preg_replace_callback('/\[name\]/', function($matches){
    return "John Doe";
}, $string);

echo $replaced_string; // Output: Hello, John Doe!
