Automate/Autopost script giving errors

[wookie]

This is an autoposting script that posts direct to SMF (Simple Machine Forum), I was given this to work with but I am getting the following error.

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/stev1965/public_html/foru/automate.php on line 125

 

I can see by previewing the message here the syntax is not quite right in the last part of this script due to the colours and the problem part being all black. I'm thinking that its the ?> in $txt = preg_replace( !s*<br(s*/)?>\s*!i', "\n", $txt); that is the error but could be wrong (and most probably...I am wrong). Can anyone see the problem to help me solve this?

you are missing a single quote

 

	$txt = preg_replace( '!s*<br(s*/)?>\s*!i', "\n", $txt);
