#23276 [NEW]: eregi() regexp trouble - very weird.

From: lukas at hej dot nu Operating system: Linux Slackware 8.1 PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Regexps related Bug description: eregi() regexp trouble - very weird. This code: <box bgcolor="#C6C6C6" bordercolor="#000000" top="1800" left="10" width="100" height="30" padding="5" borderwidth="1"> Won't match this RegExp in eregi(): <BOX bgcolor="(aqua|black|blue|fuchsia|gray|green|lime|maroon|navy|olive|purple|red|silver|teal|white|yellow|#[0-9a-f]{6})" bordercolor="(aqua|black|blue|fuchsia|gray|green|lime|maroon|navy|olive|purple|red|silver|teal|white|yellow|#[0-9a-f]{6})" top="([0-9]{1,3})" left="([0-9]{1,3})" width="([0-9]{1,3})" height="([0-9]{1,3})" padding="([0-9]{1})" borderwidth="([0-9]{1})"> It worked fine in PHP 4.2.x, but now in PHP 4.3.1 it doesn't. An interesting notice might be that the code mentioned above will match this RegExp in eregi(): <BOX bgcolor="(aqua|black|blue|fuchsia|gray|green|lime|maroon|navy|olive|purple|red|silver|teal|white|yellow|#[0-9a-f]{6})" bordercolor="(aqua|black|blue|fuchsia|gray|green|lime|maroon|navy|olive|purple|red|silver|teal|white|yellow|#[0-9a-f]{6})" top="([0-9]{1,3}) Code example: <? if(eregi('<BOX bgcolor="(aqua|black|blue|fuchsia|gray|green|lime|maroon|navy|olive|purple|red|silver|teal|white|yellow|#[0-9a-f]{6})" bordercolor="(aqua|black|blue|fuchsia|gray|green|lime|maroon|navy|olive|purple|red|silver|teal|white|yellow|#[0-9a-f]{6})" top="([0-9]{1,3})" left="([0-9]{1,3})" width="([0-9]{1,3})" height="([0-9]{1,3})" padding="([0-9]{1})" borderwidth="([0-9]{1})">', '<box bgcolor="#C6C6C6" bordercolor="#000000" top="1800" left="10" width="100" height="30" padding="5" borderwidth="1">')) { echo "Match"; } else { echo "No match"; } ?> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23276&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23276&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23276&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23276&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23276&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23276&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23276&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23276&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23276&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23276&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23276&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23276&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23276&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23276&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23276&r=gnused
