In PHP4, I get an "è" (sorry hmm, I'm not a guru or rx :) but afaik % doesn't have to be escaped. So basically it replaces % w/ your number so, do you get /something/\134s/ out? where \134 (134 is at random) is an escape sequence for a char(so a weird one). try ereg_replace("%s",$number,"/string/%s/"); and see what happens -- CIMPOESU Teodor, Web Programmer (h) @ DIGICOM S.A.
