Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.
A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc.
If possible, make the script source available online and provide
an URL to it here. Try avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

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
