[Resolved] ereg_replace mystery

[davidjam]

OK here's how it looks:

echo ereg_replace("n","s","Test 1")
     // Tent 1

echo ereg_replace("[[:space:]]","+","Test 1")
     // Test+1

$this->value = "Test 1"

echo ereg_replace("n","s",$this->value)
     // Tent&nbnp;1

echo ereg_replace("[[:space:]]","+",$this->value)
     // Test 1

I think I understand why the 3rd output is like it is, but I just can't figure out why I can't get the space to replace with a '+' in the fourth example.

Grateful as always, in advance, yours truly, evermore, wash your socks, et al, in factum est, hic! :queasy:

I'm such a goof.

I just realized that my string in $this->value was not EXACTLY "Test 1" but rather "Test&nbsp;1" <-- there is a non-breaking space here, honest! ... Which explains both problems in examples 3 and 4.
