Can someone help with a PHP problem?

[Mr Pheer]

So I've got this piece of code that wont play nice.

preg_match_all("/(\{\[)([\w-\d\s\.\|']*)(\]\})/i",$replace_text, $match);

What it is supposed to do, is allow an apostrophe to be in my replacement text. So in my text, where i have "{[SPIN--they are|they?re]}" it should return "they are" or "they're".
But instead, it simply does nothing and spits out the entire spintax code just as I typed above.

The only time this does not work, is when a replacement text has an apostrophe. It works perfectly everywhere else. Been trying to fix this for two days and I'm about to throw my keyboard through my fucking monitor.

Can someone help, please?

I got a sarcastic remark there within minutes.

Damn, and I used to thing GFY was a rough place...

Fuck, who knew there are three different apostrophes on your keyboard? If you dont use the right one in the code, the shit wont work.

I'm going to get some glasses tomorrow.

I cut and pasted yours but it didnt work... someone on stackoverflow posted one that looks the same to me, I cut & pasted that one, and it worked.

sometimes it takes days and many questions go unanswered too; when you get stuck on bigger issues, fiverr is your best friend
