The URL is www.myjmk.com The same error occurs with using just the bracket "(". But I fixed this exception. This error seems to occur ramdomly. If I'm not using the function above the query works fine, so it must be a problem of the "ereg_replace" function. thanks for your help Jan Kunberger -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9326&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
