From: baco at infomaniak dot ch Operating system: Linux Debian PHP version: 4.4.7 PHP Bug Type: mbstring related Bug description: eregi() mbregex compile err: premature end of regular expression in
Description: ------------ eregi() produce random errors like "function.mb-eregi: mbregex compile err: premature end of regular expression in" when used with special chars like accents. N.B. On the web you can found a lot of reports of this issue. Some post suggests forcing mbstring.func_overload = 0 but it doesn't work for me. If Apache1 is restarted the error doesn't come anymore before an amount of time and request. $ GET http://localhost/test.php ok $ GET http://localhost/test.php ok $ GET http://localhost/test.php <br /> <b>Warning</b>: mb_eregi() [<a href='function.mb-eregi'>function.mb-eregi</a>]: mbregex compile err: premature end of regular expression in <b>/home/www/ca8b72beb934995c1afb34e1a3ceb893/web/test.php</b> on line <b>2</b><br /> $ GET http://localhost/test.php <br /> <b>Warning</b>: mb_eregi() [<a href='function.mb-eregi'>function.mb-eregi</a>]: mbregex compile err: premature end of regular expression in <b>/home/www/ca8b72beb934995c1afb34e1a3ceb893/web/test.php</b> on line <b>2</b><br /> $ GET http://localhost/test.php <br /> <b>Warning</b>: mb_eregi() [<a href='function.mb-eregi'>function.mb-eregi</a>]: mbregex compile err: premature end of regular expression in <b>/home/www/ca8b72beb934995c1afb34e1a3ceb893/web/test.php</b> on line <b>2</b><br /> $ GET http://localhost/test.php ok $ GET http://localhost/test.php ok ...
