$str = str_replace(array("\{","\}")," ",$str);

//Replaces with spaces the braces in cases where braces in places cause stasis

/**
* @fixme Properly escape this input, but for now str_replace(); will do.

Ah, the good permanent temporary solutions.

fyi. The file in question has been untouched for 3-4 years.

Today I made a php script to scrap a site.
And I needed to use str_replace in a string to cancel out some values.

Instead of doing simple str_replace I used explode func to separate them with spaces (without any comments on how or why the fuck I m using an explode instead of a str_replace).

Later, I used $p[1] for further processing.

everyone has one function that they have to look up every time they use it. for me its str_replace() in php. i can never remember the order of the parameters...and ive been using it for almost 10 years....
