That's giving me a blank also. The form for changing the email is in a
password protected area where only two people are allowed. But I'll
implement the more secure version when I can get it to work. Thanks
for the help.
If that's giving you a blank then something else is wrong in your code.
This definitely does work:
$body = Hello, and thank you. Please visit the site .;
$url = http://boogers.on.toast/;;
$body = ereg_replace('', $url, $body);
Start from the simplest case, verify that it works, and then work out to
include all the other funky stuff you've got going on.

What I meant was this is giving me a blank still:
$body = eval(return \{$body}\;);
Just to clarify. I will be trying to narrow down the problem later today.

Thanks. Use eval(). I have $url (literally) embedded in some text in the database that is to be sent as an email message. I'm using this and $url disappears with a blank spot in the text: eval(\$body = \$body\;); I've tried variations and can't get it to work. Any help? Thanks.

While you could do something like:
$body = eval(return \{$body}\;);
...the huge, monstrous, gigantic problem is that if you allow anyone to
edit any part of $body or any string that goes into it, you are basically
handing them control of your server, because they can get eval() to
execute any code they want.
Far better would be to put a placeholder in $body like and then just
do $body = ereg_replace('', $url, $body);
