pcre is now part of php-base so preg_replace should be fine, what's
wrong?

It wasn't there - apache was logging undefined procedure calls for it.

As it happens, I've since reinstalled php5 again (another version bump
for some reason) which didn't fix the issue (yes, I did restart apache)
and then I reinstalled the few php extras I use - and now it works fine.
So goodness knows what was up - a routine in the base package apparently
wasn't there, but adding a few irrelevant php modules brought it back.

I'm obviously not seeing something, but it works now, so I'll just be
thankful.

Thanks for the reply.
