From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: win2k sp3 PHP version: 4.2.2 PHP Bug Type: *Regular Expressions Bug description: escape the escape char in preg_replace
let say: $_SESSION["l"] = 'c/c++'; $_SESSION["l"] = preg_replace("/\\*\/","\/",$_SESSION["l"]); $_SESSION["l"] = preg_replace("/\\*\+","\+",$_SESSION["l"]); what i expect is no matter how the user reload the page $_SESSION["l"] should be 'c\/c\+\+' i used the reg exp in perl and tried it out, seems logically correct, but it cause an error in my php page. thx for your attention -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20206&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20206&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20206&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20206&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20206&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20206&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20206&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20206&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20206&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20206&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20206&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20206&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20206&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=20206&r=isapi
