From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Operating system: cobalt linux
PHP version: 4.0.5
PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function
Bug description: str_replace
the following line:
$line = str_replace("pattern", Pattern(),$line);
where Pattern() is a function that returns a string.
Pattern executes everytime this code line is encountered, even if "pattern" is not a
match on $line.
so if i loop through a file running that line, the function Pattern() will execute
every single time, match or no match.
(my) common sense says this function should only execute when a match is found. Is
this a bug? I didn't know about it and something like this could seriously affect
performance of a program.
Also I don't think the modules or any other of your requirements are relevant for this
issue.
