ahhh. that's horrible. looks like backslashes are not being treated as
expected. the original:
return ereg_replace('(["\\])', '\\\\1', $str);
try futzing with the backslashes until you get the right results, for
instance:
echo '<hr>username = ' . ereg_replace('(["\])', '\\\\1', $str) . '<hr>';
exit;
you very well may need to reduce the backslashes in the 2nd argument
too.
what did they do to php?!? others are not reporting this problem, so it
might only be something different you did with your php installation.
