Operating system: Redhat 7.1 kernel 2.4.7
PHP version: 4.0.6
PHP Bug Type: Strings related
Bug description: %s 'string notator' only grabs a single word, not an entire string.
<?php
$bug = "this_is = a bug";
list($var1, $var2) = sscanf($bug, "%s = %s");
echo "Var1: $var1, Var2: $var2\n";
?>
Execute and you will see that it does not check on strings
and any spaces will foul the results which is not good.
Which means it is only checking at the word level, and
stopping once it hits a space, instead of parsing the
entirety as a string which is what it should be doing.
I have had to switch to using explode() which is problematic
because I may have more then 1 '=' sign in the string and I
only want to split on the first one.
Please get this fixed as it causes problems, headaches and
the need to write crappily inefficent workarounds when a
simple sscanf is all you should need.

Modules.. Hmm, I have no idea really, I installed the RPM.
Goto www.sexorcisto.net/php.php for the php configuration
output if you need it.
