From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: FreeBSD 4.2 PHP version: 4.0.5 PHP Bug Type: POSIX related Bug description: ereg_replace fails on strings containing backslashes
The goal is to replace sequence of two backslashes in $text by one backslash. While preg_replace works, ereg_replace does not make any change to $text. echo "preg_replace\n"; $text="\\\\"; echo "--".$text."--".strlen($text)."\n"; $text=preg_replace( "/\\\\\\\\/", "\\\\", $text); echo "--".$text."--".strlen($text)."\n"; echo "\n"; echo "ereg_replace\n"; $text="\\\\"; echo "--".$text."--".strlen($text)."\n"; $text=ereg_replace( "\\\\\\\\", "\\\\", $text); echo "--".$text."--".strlen($text)."\n"; ./configure \ --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \ --with-imap=/usr/ports/new/imap \ --enable-track-vars \ --enable-trans-sid -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=15203&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
