It looks like each() returns an array, and preg_match wants a string. The old version of PHP must have just missed the error where the new one is more strict. Try changing this line: if (!preg_match("/^#/", $a_pref)) { to this: if (!preg_match("/^#/", $a_pref[value])) { and it might fix your problem. The code for that plugin doesn't look entirely correct to me, though, anyway. If it worked before, that might fix your problem though. Ed Holden said: > Hi.
