ID: 22371 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: phpbugreport at webfroot dot co dot nz -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Regexps related Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip With latest CVS I get: bacon <a href='http://www.whatever.com'>hello</a> as the result of the regular expression. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-22 01:22:55] phpbugreport at webfroot dot co dot nz Running Apache 1.3 as a service on Windows XP $text = ereg_replace ("<a[^>]+href *= *([^ ]+)[^>]*>", "<a href=\\1>", $text); The above line of code is supposed to find all a tags and strip any attributes except href. However: $text = "bacon <a href='http://www.whatever.com' title='hello!'>hello</a>"; will be set to: bacon !<a href='http://www.whatever.com' title='hello'>hello</a> How in the hell did that exclaim get to the start of the a tag? Maybe I'm just doing something wrong, but it looks like a bug to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22371&edit=1
