I took this example from php.net, but can't figure out where I went wrong. Why does this: $text = preg_replace("/<head(.|\s)*?>(.|\s)*?<\/head>/i" , "" , $text); throw this error: syntax error at line 265, column 39: $text = preg_replace("/<head(.|\s)*?>(.|\s)*?<\/head>/i" , "" , $text); ======================================^ It seems to be pointing to the 'e' is 'head'. Why? Thanks.

Since what time does php gives the column of the error? It seems more like javascript error.
