On the PHP site on the preg_replace() function page (
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php ), example 1
uses "@" signs in the regular expression members of the "search" array.
On another PHP site (
http://www.phpfreaks.com/phpmanual/page/function.preg-replace.html ),
Example 5 is the same script except the regex array members use double-
then single-quotes.

Why?

Both scripts seem to work the same. I can find no documentation on how
the "@" sign affects how the regex is used.

A link to explanatory documentation would be highly appreciated.
