For anyone who reads Evan K, please note that:
// a string to test, and show the before and after
$before = 'Quantity:\t500\nPrice:\t$5.25 each';
$after = expand_escape($before);
var_dump($before, $after);
Is identical to (note all I added was a backslash before $):
$before = "Quantity:\t500\nPrice:\t\$5.25 each";
var_dump($before);
So its definitely better to escape a dollar instead of all the overhead of his regex and evals and
such, although clever completely unnecessary.
