Bug #17761 Updated: $regs[] above 10, fails in Windows

ID: 17761 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: michael@thingmand.dk -Status: Bogus +Status: Feedback -Bug Type: Pspell related +Bug Type: Regexps related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: Just in case this is already fixed..can you try this snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-14 15:29:31] michael@thingmand.dk When I use ereg()'s possibility to capture the matches with $reg[] and make an expression with 10+ matches, it won’t capture matches above $reg[9]. On the other hand, if I make 9 or less matches, the $reg[] always count 10 entries ($reg[0]- $reg[9]). The error only appears on Windows systems – on Unix systems, the bug is fixed… Just as described in the note on http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-14 11:33:18] sander@php.net Not enough information was provided for us to be able to handle this bug.

The same script, tested on a Unix box worked as suspected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17761&edit=1
