However: $text = "bacon <a href='http://www.whatever.com' title='hello!'>hello</a>"; will be set to: bacon !<a href='http://www.whatever.com' title='hello'>hello</a> How in the hell did that exclaim get to the start of the a tag? Maybe I'm just doing something wrong, but it looks like a bug to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22371&edit=1
