I did not ask for help. Why are you being so hasty!! I do see the PHP bug. When you do the echo in PHP variable, it work okay but the bug is present within html code becuase it got the data from the php variable.

The script I'm using is a screen scraping feature since one of the Credit Bureaus doesn't have XML data. This bug was detected 2 months ago with PHP 4.3.7 then upgraded PHP 5.1.1 and bug still exist. The bug here is that there's no "<td>" data in PHP but is present when it is passed on to HTML. I don't know if the bug is the echo, substr() or strpos(). So, pay attention to the $ssn1 variable via echo output. Reproduce code: --------------- <? //$responsedata = "<table><tr><td>SSN:</td><td>400-41-4001</td></table>"; $responsedata = "<table><tr><td>SSN:</td><td>400-41-4001</td></table>"; //$StrPosValue3 = 0; for($x=0;$x<2;$x++) { //1 - Individual, 2 - Joint $StrPosValue1 = strpos($responsedata,"SSN:",$StrPosValue3); if (!($StrPosValue1 === false)) { $StrPosValue1 = strpos($responsedata,"<td>",($StrPosValue1+1)); $tmp1 = substr($responsedata,0,$StrPosValue1+4); $tmp2 = substr($responsedata,$StrPosValue1,strlen($responsedata)); $StrPosValue2 = strpos($tmp2,"</td>"); $ssn1 = substr($tmp2,0,$StrPosValue2); $tmp3 = substr($tmp2,$StrPosValue2,strlen($tmp2)); $ssn1 = trim($ssn1); $ssn1 = str_replace("-","",$ssn1); //12/23/2005 - Found a PHP bug that somehow insert the \"<td>\" characters to the beginning of // the SSN characters, problem is it is not visisible with the echo command unless // it is assigned to a variable or to this, echo "test ".$ssn1." test"; statement... // So, we'll have to use PHP to remove it ourselve... //============================================= //============================================= // See bug demo below... echo "## --> ".$ssn1." <-- ##<br>"; echo "<script type='text/javascript'>\n"; echo "alert('".$ssn1."');\n"; echo "</script>\n"; //============================================= //============================================= // Bug workaround available below... $ssn1 = substr($ssn1,-9); //Used the last 9 characters and dump the first 4 characters... //============================================= //============================================= $ssn1 = "XXX-XX-".substr($ssn1, -4); $responsedata = $tmp1.$ssn1.$tmp3; $StrPosValue3 = $StrPosValue1 + 1; } } ?> Expected result: ---------------- Should not display the "<td>" data. Actual result: -------------- Displayed the "<td>" data. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35985&edit=1
