note 21483 added to function.preg-replace

This is just a reminder to be careful to use preg_quote() where appropriate on both the search string AND the replacement string. Here is an example of an error caused by the failure to do so on the replacement string: $text = "xyz salary abc"; $search = "/salary/"; $replacement = "$1,000,000 dollars"; echo preg_replace($search, $replacement, $text); // BAD I had a problem with this when a HTTP_POST_VARS value was included in a replacement pattern and the user had entered a value with special characters. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+21483 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+21483 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+21483
