I need to replace :'( and :'-( ... or as they look in the post after being entered through htmlentities with ent_quotes on:
:'( :'-(
this causes the entire message to disappear:
$text = ereg_replace(':'-?(','<img src="'.$smiley_path.'/crying.gif" alt=":'(" width="25" height="15" align="absmiddle">',$text);
only the format of the search part differs from my other smiley replacements, so obviously that's where the problem is ... afaik, neither &, # or ; have any meaning in regex, so I don't get what causes it ... I've tried escaping all of those chars, and it still causes $text to come back empty...
any ideas will be highly appreciated...
TIA
