RE: [PHP] regex problem with '@'

if you are ever having problems with recognizing characters then make a test page and put this into it: for($i=1; $i<=256; $i++) { if ($i<10) $n='00'.$i; elseif($i<100) $n='0'.$i; else $n=$i; echo '<br>ANSI '.$n.' --><b>'.chr($n).'</b><-- '; } this will make you a list of ALL ANSI characters. basing on it you can then specify the character you want by it's ANSI value, like chr('13') for a new line or chr('65') for a Capital A (I think) etc... So your ereg is looking then smarter like this: ereg(chr(65), $str) but, this is for testing and other complicated staff, usually a simple strstr() or str_replace is enough.
