Actually this is the right order.  I'm trying to take stuff that has
already been disabled and reenabling it.  IE:  change "&#x3a;)" to
":)"

But this helps me begin to get a hint of why there are all those /\ \
/ things in the search patterns. Could you help me fix this to work?
Maybe:

  foreach ($p as $pp) $_POST[$pp] = preg_replace('/\&#x3a;\)/', ':)' );
