Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-17 15:24:27] grok at no-log dot org Description: ------------ preg_replace returns null instead of a string. The input is an html file I was parsing. The bug disapears when I change the file in many ways. I managed to reduce the html file's size a bit, but it is still too long to paste hear, and the posting might remove caracters that might be involved in the bug. I put the html file here: http://marcel.demosphere.fr/php-preg-bug.txt Reproduce code: --------------- var_dump(preg_replace('@^.*</head>@s','',file_get_contents("bug"))); Expected result: ---------------- preg_replace should return a string with all of the input. Actual result: -------------- preg_replace returns null ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42329&edit=1
