obviously the ( has meaning, and needs to be escaped ... was starting to think it could only do 2 ereg's in 1 script *sigh*
Sorry for wasting time and bandwidth ... the function now looks like this and works :
function gfx_smiley($text) {
$smiley_path = 'smiley';$text = eregi_replace(':-?D','<img src="'.$smiley_path.'/biggrin.gif" alt=":D" width="15" height="15" align="absmiddle">',$text);
$text = ereg_replace(':-?\?','<img src="'.$smiley_path.'/confused.gif" alt=":?" width="15" height="22" align="absmiddle">',$text);
$text = ereg_replace(':'-?\(','<img src="'.$smiley_path.'/crying.gif" alt=":'(" width="25" height="15" align="absmiddle">',$text);
$text = ereg_replace(':-?\(','<img src="'.$smiley_path.'/frown.gif" alt=":(" width="15" height="15" align="absmiddle">',$text);
return $text; }

I'm trying to do graphical smileys for my guestbook, but I've run into a problem with the crying smilies:
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...
