$body = "b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9e0f1a2b3c4d5e6f7"; $body = preg_replace('/(^[a-f0-9]{32}$)/', '?', $body ); var_dump($body); Above code gives me string(1) "?" on PHP-5.1.6/5.2.1/6.0-dev on linux using CLI or Apache.

That's what I get in 5.1.6 on Linux and 5.2.1 on Windows. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-03-30 17:30:43] jfgingras at cegep-ste-foy dot qc dot ca Description: ------------ I can't use full PCRE in preg_replace and preg_match functions. If I do: $body = "b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9e0f1a2b3c4d5e6f7"; $body = preg_replace('/(^[a-f0-9]{32}$)/', '?', $body ); preg_replace() return en empty string instead of "?" or the original string if the regex doesn't match as the documentation says. But, if I use this: $body = "b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9e0f1a2b3c4d5e6f7"; $body = preg_replace('^[a-f0-9]{32}$', '?', $body ); It works!! I got the same problem with preg_match, it always return false. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40961&edit=1
