In the process a script broke which had been working fine right up until php-4.3.3. I have a comparison expression where a variable on the left side is compared to an expression which alters the same variable on the right side. See the code details below. Reproduce code: --------------- if ($var == ($var = ereg_replace("^\.", "", $var))) { $replace = true; } else { $replace = false; } Expected result: ---------------- If $var contains "SOMETHING" the expression should be true and if $var contains ".SOMETHING" the expression should be false. Actual result: -------------- The expression is always true, regardless of the content of $var. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25982&edit=1
