Bug description: unexpected/lack of output from ereg & eregi
Description:
------------
The size of the resulting string of the search using ereg & eregi seems to
be limited.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$GrabData = ereg("$GrabStart(.*)$GrabEnd", $RetrieveFile, $DataPrint);
echo $DataPrint;
Where $GrabStart & $GrabEnd are items chosen within the $RetrieveFile
Expected result:
----------------
I was expecting whatever portion of $RetrieveFile to be output as
determined by $GrabStart & $GrabEnd
Actual result:
--------------
It worked to a certain extent until $GrabStart & $GrabEnd where more than
a certain distance apart in the file then it failed.
ereg returned a value rather than TRUE or FALSE. The max value it returned
before failure seemed to be around 8969
which corresponds to the amount of data returned which was about 8,920
bytes
