If you don't want to use \n or $n substitution, then maybe you are better off using
str_replace()?

Is it possible to ask that the this be included as a new feature?
A switch to tell the PCRE engine? to ignore variable substitution?
It would make things a lot easier, I think.
Thanks

That's right, you need to escape $ in your replacement strings.

The setup for my templating system:
$template=array(
"/({PAGETOP})/",
"/({PAGENAVBAR})/",
"/({PAGEMAIN})/",
"/({PAGELINKS})/",
"/({PAGESPACE})/",
"/({PAGETEXT})/",
"/({PAGENEWS})/",
"/({PAGEBOTTOM})/",
"/({PAGEDATA})/"
);
$pagevars=array(
"PAGETOP" => get_page($site->page_top),
"PAGENAVBAR" => get_page($site->page_top),
"PAGEMAIN" => get_page($site->page_main),
"PAGELINKS" => get_page($site->page_links),,
"PAGESPACE" => get_page($site->page_space),
"PAGETEXT" => get_page($site->page_text),
"PAGENEWS" => get_page($site->page_news),,
"PAGEBOTTOM" => get_page($site->page_bottom),
"PAGEDATA" => ""
);
$page = "{PAGETOP}{PAGENAVBAR}{PAGEMAIN}{PAGEBOTTOM}";
$page = preg_replace($template,$pagevars,$page);
echo $page;
Basically each physical page referenced via the get_page function is a text template that may
contain HTML, text or variables in the form {VAR}.
Eventually content from a database ends up in a variable called PAGEDATA which is in the template
stored in the page main variable.
The problem:
PAGEDATA ends up containing page text and it has something like "would cost around $16,000 to
complete" in that text.
When the preg_replace is performed, something somewhere is assuming that $16 is a variable (which
doesn't exist) and the text ends up as "would cost around ,000 to complete"
