& and # goes bonkers in my plugin
I am doing a plugin that uses regex’s. In it I search for <code>&#</code> but when I upload it to my server instead of thoose two chars I get a nice square (meaning a char that is not in the typeface). I’ve tried different things to get this through but nothing helps. And since it is a regex I can’t add a space or something in between, there need not to be one. When I tried “just to see what happens” if I do add a space inbetween they render fine in the plugin code when it is installed. Argh!
Help!! cried the little plugin developer.

Re: & and # goes bonkers in my plugin
Are you editing your plugin via the Textpattern admin interface? It seems to mess up encoding.

No, I’ve compiled it and then when I install it outputs (in the admin interface) a square instead of <code>&#</code>.

Try this function and encode it and upload it and see what you get:
<code>
function testfunction() {
$pattern = “/(&#(\\d+);)/e”;
}
</code>
Because this is what I get:
<code>
$pattern = “/(�(\\d+);)/e”;
</code>
