REG_EPAREN error when using eregi_replace

[irock]

When I tried to use eregi_replace to replace parentheses in my $spec variable.

$spec = eregi_replace(")","",$spec);
$spec = eregi_replace("(","",$spec);

I got an error saying...

Warning: eregi_replace() [function.eregi-replace]: REG_EPAREN in test.php

Do you know how to fix this problem?

Thanks again!

You just need to escape it.

$spec = eregi_replace("\(","",$spec);

<added> You could probably do this also:
$spec = eregi_replace("[\)\(]","",$spec);
</added>
