In my PHP 4.04pl1, the backreferences added escape slashes! I.e. if the string referred to by a back reference contains an apostraphe ('), it gets escaped. I'm using the e operator, BTW. I had to put a stripslashes() in the replacement code around the backreference [stripslashes("$2")] to make it behave as I expected.
