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 the script requires a database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates all necessary tables, stored procedures etc. Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-15 03:09:52] hscdaunte at hotmail dot com Description: ------------ When using the eplode function on top of array that has memory pointers pointing at it will not work. The new array generated by explode overwrites current memory location rather then assiging the new values to the current memory. Suffucient example is provided example output with 'XXXXX' were just removed for identity purposes.
