Any idea what's wrong with this code snippet?

<?

$pattern = "<script[^>]*?>.*?</script>";
$replacement = "";
$subject = " <Description><script
src='http://x.com/rd/j/rf.jsp?pD=41422'></script>Official site. Enjoy
lower rates in the heart of Montreal at the

Fairmont Queen Elizabeth. Save 10% if you book 3 weeks in advance. From
$199 CAD per night. Fairmont, Creating Memories.</Description>";

$test = preg_replace($pattern,$replacement,$subject);

echo $test;
?>

Generates:

Warning: preg_replace(): Unknown modifier ']' in
/web/sites/kerryc/buyers-source-online.com/testme.php on line 9

I just wanna replace the <script tag with nothing...it can't be THAT
hard :)

The first character of the pattern is considered the delimiter
character. Try something like:

$pattern = '#<\s*script\s+.*?>.*?<\s*/\s*script>#is';

The delimiter character (#) separates the regular expression from the
pattern modifiers.

You might be interested in PEAR::HTML_Safe, which sanitizes HTML.
