This is really not a bug, you're doing something wrong. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-09 14:08:04] admin@students-fhtw.de I know, what the escape characters mean. The problem was, that I wanted to replace all quotations in a string which worked on linux with \" but on windows I had to write \\\" to achieve the replacement! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-09 12:01:22] jtate@php.net ??? On linux $getQuery = str_replace("\"", "", $getQuery); On windows $getQuery = str_replace("\"", "", $getQuery); \\ means \ \" means " so \\\" means \". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-29 15:29:24] admin@students-fhtw.de str_replace() produces different output on windows and on linux: php versions: windows: 4.1.1 linux: 4.0.5 situation: I wanted to delete all quotations in a string, that came from GET query. script: on linux: $getQuery = str_replace("\"", "", $getQuery); on windows: $getQuery = str_replace("\\\"", "", $getQuery); conclusion: On windows, the character [\"] is not seen as one character but as two. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16352&edit=1
