I've tried this and it doesn't work, any ideas? $illegal_chars="[^a-zA-Z0-9._\\:]|\\\\"; $dir="c:\\t.e.s.t.\\\\7."; $dir_name = ereg_replace($illegal_chars, "", $dir_name); it removes the single double slash after :, as well. this is on version 4.0.3pl1 would some people please test this on their boxes/versions? I tried preg_replace(), and it did the same thing. I don't think it should remove that single backslash, right? -- PHP General 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]
