I can not reproduce this locally, (see

)
  but it sounds like the $ is interpreted somehow as a variable in 
content (which should not happen by defaul, but may be possible in 
certain configurations if you instruct Xaraya to explicitly do so; 
through a transform hook for example)

The only difference between $5 and $f from a php point of view would 
be that $5 is always invalid while $f 'may' be valid. Are you 
suppressing errors, i.e. try to set errorlevel to the maximum and see 
if you get stuff back.

Weird problem though, never seen it before.
