I just spent a good half hour debugging an unusual problem with preg_replace... the task was to insert text from a textarea into a template and send it along in an email. If the user put a $ anywhere in the textarea, the output would be hosed. Anywhere they had $ followed by a price, it would replace it with 0. My best guess at this is that it interprets the prices as matched values (ie $0, $1, etc). My only solution was to NOT use a regexp and just use str_replace, since I didn't NEED regular expressions. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+33155 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+33155&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+33155&report=yes
