    What your 2nd question mark means ?
    Depending on the idea either
    "â?.?" or "â?\?"
    should satisfy.

    I am trying to replace some parts of the text from yahoo pipes.
    Dont know why but, the ['] comes out as [â??] to php..
    I have been unable to solve it with pipes, so I have thought that I do it with php with eregi_replace.
    And ; "â?.?" or "â?\?" did not work..

    Click on the eregi_replace entry in your example - the link will take you to PHP.net, which will explain the command.

    In a nutshell:

    1-regular expressions need a start and end character to mark it - for example,

    $neyi = "[COLOR="DarkRed"]@[/COLOR]â??[COLOR="DarkRed"]@[/COLOR]";
    Code (markup):
    2-you also need to 'escape' special characters (like the question mark) with a slash:

    $neyi = "@â[COLOR="DarkRed"]\[/COLOR]?[COLOR="DarkRed"]\[/COLOR]?@";
    Code (markup):
