Sorry, guys. It never occurred to me that anyone would cut and paste from the displayed message. I always use the
Quote option, then cut and paste from there to avoid any formatting problems.
Attached is a text file with the instructions. I have also edited the original post to properly display the "\[tagline]" entries, which is what was causing JJR512's problem. Entered as just "[tagline]" he was executing the
eregi command on the seven letters "t" "a" "g" "l" "i" "n" and "e" rather than on the string "[tagline]" as it should have.
Of course, anyone who uses the quote option to cut and paste will have bad code, now. I had a look through the bugs and troubleshooting forums and found
this message indicating that this slash parsing problem is a PHP bug. So, in future, I will try to catch that and make a note for readers.
My humble thanks for your gently worded constructive feedback.
