preg_replace not working in server

[RuthC]

Hi,

I am using this code to make my query nice

// Make nice query, remove multiple: spaces, '`' (safe slashes), 'AND', 'OR', ...
$pattern = array ( '/(AND[\s])+/', '/(OR[\s])+/', '/\s+/', '/`+/', '`^[^\w\d]`', '`[^`\w\d]$`' );
$replace = array ( 'AND '        , 'OR '        , ' '    , '`'   , ''        , ''         );
$search_preferences['SQL_Query']     = preg_replace ($pattern, $replace, $search_preferences['SQL_Query']    );

This is working perfect in my local system.

PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions) Support is enabled in both server and local

Please help

Thanks and regards
RuthC

Heya, Ruth.

Does the preg_replace() do anything on your server?

Post an example of a query, how it looks after you run the preg_replace() on your local machine and how it looks after you run the preg_replace() on the server.
