Ok, $tags must be sent through preg_quote() there to quote  
backslashes, probably before the implode (so as to not quote pipe  
symbol).

Thanks.

It is a huge one, but there is no other way: If you change only a part  
of the code, you still drown in PHP warnings. If you change all at  
once, you must be sure to check every part of the system afterwards  
(impossible for a (single) developer).

So, having the change in the code before the broad testing in public  
(wishful thinking?) is the best way...

Karsten
