PHP Bug Type: *Regular Expressions
Bug description: unbound .* patterns don't work properly
These 2 are OK:
ereg_replace('..','b','aa') -> b
ereg_replace('.+','b','aa') -> b
But this is wrong:
ereg_replace('.*','b','aa') -> bb
You can "fix" it by binding to the beginning:
ereg_replace('^.*','b','aa') -> b
but not by binding to the end:
ereg_replace('.*$','b','aa') -> bb
