Bug #15996 Updated: ereg doesn't match on Alpha but does on i586

ID: 15996 Updated by: tim@famdijkstra.org Reported By: tim@famdijkstra.org Status: Open Bug Type: *Regular Expressions Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: I recompiled with --with-regex=php and that fixes the problem. Does this mean another piece of software has a problem? If so, what is it? I want to know so I can file a bug on that one. grts Tim Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-11 09:11:03] tim@famdijkstra.org I was trying a set of scripts on my alpha intead of the i586 I used before (same php version same configure options). I had some problems and found it had something to do with weird behaviour of ereg. It doesn't match in some cases where it should (and does on i586), the matches array is left empty. Some examples: $p="blah link website bluh"; ereg("(.*)bla(.*)lin(.*)uh",$p,$regs1); //OK isset($regs1) and print(implode("<br>",$regs1)); ereg("(.*)bla(.*)lin(.*)web(.*)uh",$p,$regs2); //NOT OK isset($regs2) and print(implode("<br>",$regs2)); ereg("bla(.*)lin(.*)web(.*)uh",$p,$regs3); //NOT OK isset($regs3) and print(implode("<br>",$regs3)); ereg("bla(.*)lin(.*)uh",$p,$regs4); //OK isset($regs4) and print(implode("<br>",$regs4)); So only examples 1 and 4 have output. I can't find a real patern in it.. I hope you can....
