#23662 [NEW]: ereg_replace doesn't follow specs

From: jesse at eonstreet dot com Operating system: XP PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: ereg_replace doesn't follow specs These lines of code seem to be invalid: $text = "tes test tester"; $text = ereg_replace("^tes$","",$text); echo $text; // ouptu is | tes test tester | I've test this with every possible combination of acceptable ereg associations and nothing... I've stopped using ereg and only now use preg functions. Can anyone explain why this does work? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23662&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23662&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23662&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23662&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23662&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23662&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23662&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23662&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23662&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23662&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23662&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23662&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23662&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23662&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23662&r=gnused
