From: jc@mega-bucks.co.jp Operating system: Red Hat Linux 7.2 PHP version: 4.2.3 PHP Bug Type: mbstring related Bug description: mb_ereg_match is broken, does not return FALSE Seems like mbstring function is borked in 4.2.3 :) mb_ereg_match doesn't seem to be returning a proper FALSE value when passed to a conditional statement. BUT, the return value is an empty string which *should* evaluate to flase no? Following output and code illustrate: OUTPUT: RETURN was ** a is FALSE CODE: if (mb_ereg_match("A", "X")) { echo "MATCHES <BR>"; } else { "echo NO MATCH <BR>"; } $a = mb_ereg_match("A", "X"); echo "RETURN was *$a*<BR>"; if ($a) { } else { echo "a is FALSE<BR>";} exit; -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19691&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19691&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19691&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19691&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19691&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19691&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19691&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19691&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19691&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19691&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=19691&r=globals
