 * Hi I have been grappling with a problem whereby insert php causes my code to 
   be written out when the code is executed. I have isolated this fragment which
   is causing the issue:
 * [insert_php]
    $email_exp = “/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/”;[/
   insert_php]
 * If you run this it should print nothing but it actually displays the above code.
 * Is there some character in the assignment statement which is causing this?
