PHP 7.0 issue?

Hi Gary,

Great little plugin – thank you! Just to let you know that on my server running PHP 7.0 and the latest WordPress I received the following error when editing and saving a page with the plugin:

Warning: preg_replace(): No ending delimiter '&' found in ...../wp-content/plugins/wp-places/includes/googlePlaces.php on line 8

In order to solve it I changed this:

$location=preg_replace("&", "and", $location);

…to this:

$location=preg_replace("~&~", "and", $location);

And it seems to be working. Hope this helps a little.

Could you use str_replace instead?

Thanks again for the plugin!
