Php docs are quite messy about what works with what function...
This is my problem; I want to strip out spaces from my tags:

$word = "[ / quote ]";
$word = eregi_replace("[[[:blank:]]*quote[[:blank:]]*]", "[quote]", $word);
$word = eregi_replace("[[[:blank:]]*\/[[:blank:]]*quote[[:blank:]]*]",
"[/quote]", $word);

I would expect the result to be: [/quote] but it is [ /[quote].
It seems the first replace actually do the replace, but the how does it
match the slash "/" ???

Thanks,
Camillo
