preg_replace() stopped working

[doddsey_65]

I have this code:

 

preg_replace('|\@([a-zA-Z0-9\_\-]+)|sie', 'preg_link_query("\\1")', $str)

which replaces anything with an "@" symbol infront of it with a link to the profile(using the preg_link_query).

 

The problem is that it no longer works.  An example of content on the current page is:

 

@doddsey_65 hello

 

Where @doddsey_65 would be replaced with the profile link.

 

I have added more code to this as it's part of a bbparser. Could it be to do with the fact that when the parser replaces smilies like :@ it breaks this code?

 

Just to clarify, nothing is replaced and a preg match reveals nothing.

 

Thanks

This works for me:

 

<?php
function preg_link_query($member){
return "@<a href='/file/'>$member</a>";
}


$str = "This is a test @mike! whats up!";

echo preg_replace("/\@([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/e", "preg_link_query('$1')", $str);
?>
