Bug description: preg_replace() returns blank string
Description:
------------
preg_replace blanks a string that it didn't use to in previous versions of
PHP 5.x. other preg_replace strings not affected
Reproduce code:
---------------
function doSmiles($string, $skinname)
{
$patterns = array(
"/\[alien\]/i",
... snipped due to length ...
"/\[crazy\]/i"
);
$replacements = array(
"<img src=\"./skin/$skinname/emotes/alien.png\" alt=\"alien\"
title=\"alien\">",
... snip due to length ...
"<img src=\"./skin/$skinname/emotes/crazy.png\"
src=\"./skin/$skinname/emotes/crazy.png\" alt=\"crazy\" title=\"crazy\">"
);
$string = preg_replace($patterns, $replacements, $string);
return $string;
}
Expected result:
----------------
print substrings like [alien] to html-valid strings like <img
src="./skin/default/alien.png">. prior to upgrading to 5.2.5 this
particular function DID work. it no longer works.
Actual result:
--------------
returns a blank string ""
