Re: Re: Another stupid one...

Ahh, I just found the problem... This is the source of the output: <td valign=top align=left>User : liam@i-redlands.net </td> Whoops... Sorry guys. The reason I'm having troubles with all this stuff is that it's all being pulled out of a hard database using telnet. Yeah, it's the only way, and it's a downright pain.

Just stop using ereg_replace where not needed and use str_replace instead - it's faster and you don't risk bumping into "key-chars" like you just did. While regexps are very useful when needed, people tend to use the same functions even when they don't need regexps just out of habit...
