I had a very strange error, catastrophic yesterday.
PEAR Config writes a PHP array file like so:
<?php
$config = array(
param1 => 'value',
param2 => 'val'ue2',
...
);
The writing process is what failed to generate the backslash. The
parsing
happens on subsequent page loads. The strange thing is that I have
not been
able to reproduce the error and I looked the the PEAR Config code,
which
does use addcslashes($val, "\\'").
addcslashes failed to put a slash in front of a single quote. Can
anyone imagine how this could happen? Is it possible it didn’t catch
a multi-byte character? Am I back to charset issues?
Yeah... weird. I'm not terribly familiar with addcslashes or PEAR
Config... but I do write a config file in a similar way to you...
except I use smarty to write it and use the {$var|escape:'quotes'}
modifier. I'm looking at the code for that modifier and it uses this
odd regular expression:
preg_replace("%(?<!\\\\)'%", "\\'", $string);
Unfortunately, I can’t reproduce the error.
You tried a resave of your config with the same exact settings and it
worked? I dunno. Is there anything else that could possible modify
your config file? Or anyway that PEAR Config can write something
without passing it through addcslashes?_______________________________________________
