I was trying to just first get it to replace the exact thing typed. Then
move on to replacing any word within the %/i% and %i%

$Scripture="this is a %/i%test%i%";
preg_replace("%/i%test%i%","XXXXXXXX",$Scripture);

This errors with Unknown modifier t
I tried what I thought was escaping it by putting a \test but that just
messes up more. See I haven't a clue.
