preg match and replace escape characters

[wesg]

I wrote a wordpress function to replace text, but I'm having trouble getting the result I want.

The text I'm search for is

?phpMyAdmin=CC-tisnANYFAOkLqSlHgaMdmEG1

and I need to know which characters need to be escaped.

My preg_match statement is surrounded by #, and I'm not quite sure what the difference is between that and / so I don't know what changes are allowed.

Any suggestions?

Any of the meta-characters in the pattern string need to be escaped (there's a special case for character classes). There's more information at php.net: [php.net...]

preg_quote [php.net] may be a function of interest as well.
