Description:
------------
I have been trying to get the  eregi_replace  function to remove \\ from my string. I have also tried ereg_replace. Every time I try to it fails. This *is* a bug.In http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=26524 was said that it isn't, but I'm sure it is.

We all know, to print a \ on the screen we can use this:
 print("\\");

This works, ofcourse. Try it.
But when you try to use eregi_replace to replace a \, it will give the following error: 

Warning: eregi_replace(): REG_EESCAPE in /where-ever.php on line 5

There is nothing diffrent from my host to any others, and more people have this problem, I think.

Try this:

<?php
    $description = "Hi, \\how are you?";
    $description = eregi_replace("\\", " ", $description);
?>

Reproduce code:
---------------
$description = "Hi, \\how are you?";
$description = eregi_replace("\\", " ", $description);

Expected result:
----------------
I expected $description to become "Hi,  how are you", but instead of that I got...

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: eregi_replace(): REG_EESCAPE in /home/bartware/public_html/bart-ware.com/admin.php on line 188

Line 188 is: $description = eregi_replace("\\", " ", $description);
