Just stop using ereg_replace where not needed and use str_replace 
instead - it's faster and you don't risk bumping into "key-chars" like 
you just did. While regexps are very useful when needed, people tend to 
use the same functions even when they don't need regexps just out of 
habit... There, now I said it! :-)
