From: Operating system: Mac OS x 10.7.1,MAMP 1.9.6 PHP version: 5.3SVN-2011-10-04 (SVN) Package: Strings related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Explode function sensitive to data! Description: ------------ If I have a string containing "<?php" somewhere in the middle and I use explode to split the string. Then the output array will not have the part of the string prior to the "<?php", the output array will start at the character following the "<?php". Is this a bug or this is the way explode works? Test script: --------------- use URL www.diadoker.se/test/packa_upp.php. The input file, "test_new.php", to this is a previus "packed" php-file using "trim", and the output is to file "test2.php". Expected result: ---------------- I expected the result to be equal to the input but split according to the parameters in the explode function. Actual result: -------------- When there is the characters "<?php" somewhere in the string, everything before these characters are lostand the first character in the output array is the character following the "<?php". -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55842&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55842&r=mysqlcfg
