I've been working on my own templating feature in which a page of static html is replaced by php variables when they exist. When $ (dollar sign) exists on the static page before the templating magic it is getting omitted when i replace things using preg_replace() for the output. This simple example illustrates this: $price = '$10.99'; $template = 'Your cost: $price'; $output = preg_replace('/\$price/', $price, $template); echo $output; //Your cost: .99 notice the "$" is now missing from output. Anyone know how to solve this problem and preserve dollar signs in an elegant way. I know I can do something like $price = str_replace('$', '\$', $price); but that seems ugly and simply another string function that isn't necessary. (I'm already using a lot of resources to make the templating feature work) Note: I'm using php ver. 5.2 I thought maybe preg_replace_callback() might work but it doesn't seem to be supported
