How can regular expressions be used effectively in PHP to replace numbers with images in a counter script?

To replace numbers with images in a counter script using regular expressions in PHP, you can use the `preg_replace` function to match numbers and replace them with image tags. You can create a mapping of numbers to image URLs and use this mapping to dynamically replace numbers with corresponding images. 

<?php
// Counter script with numbers to be replaced with images
$counter = "12345";

// Mapping of numbers to image URLs
$images = [
    '1' => 'image1.jpg',
    '2' => 'image2.jpg',
    '3' => 'image3.jpg',
    '4' => 'image4.jpg',
    '5' => 'image5.jpg'
];

// Replace numbers with images using regular expressions
$counter_with_images = preg_replace_callback('/\d/', function($match) use ($images) {
    return '<img src="' . $images[$match[0]] . '" alt="' . $match[0] . '">';
}, $counter);

echo $counter_with_images;
?>
