#43431 [NEW]: Using /H in haystack causes truncated results

From: lowell at ietech dot com Operating system: Linux data 2.6.18.2-34 PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: Using /H in haystack causes truncated results Description: ------------ Using '/H' (uppercase 'H' is relevant) near the end of the haystack truncates the result (In example below, first 5 letters of 'Health'). Have tried many strings to determine consistency, but have failed. Using '/home' instead of '/Home' in string produced a different result, but any other attempts at increasing or decreasing the # '/H's in the string failed to reveal a consistent behavior. Reproduce code: --------------- $sHayStack = "/data/virtual/abc.com/Home/test/absolute/Health"; $sNeedle = "/data/virtual/abc.com/Home/test/absolute"; echo ltrim( $sHayStack, $sNeedle ); Expected result: ---------------- Health Actual result: -------------- h -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43431&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43431&r=mysqlcfg
