note 33155 deleted from function.preg-replace by sniper

Note Submitter: david@turningminds.com ---- 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.
