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.

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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55842&edit=1
