Let me try what you said and revert

3

Check http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php for the correct syntax of preg_match.

Saw that but cant understand the issue cause the syntax looks ok

5

What is the value of $__temp ?

6

I googled for that error, and it seems that having a ‘(’ in the regex can be a problem. And the solution should be to pass the regex through preg_quote(). Take a look at the manual: http://www.php.net/preg_quote

guido2004 is right. Try the following

if (preg_match('/^' . preg_quote($__tmp, '/') . '$/iu', $elm)) {
8

if (preg_match(‘/^’ . preg_quote($__tmp, ‘/’) . ‘$/iu’, $elm))

This give me an error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/homeidea/public_html/mall/core/fn.locations.php on line 160
