#26569 [NEW]: Backslash \ is removed with eval

From: webmaster at acecoolco dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.3.3 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: Backslash \ is removed with eval Description: ------------ Ive finally traced this bug. If you have a page generated with EVAL Ok, I have a form, when you submit it, it adds code to mysql database, it works, but using EVAL, it removes \s I saw the other bug report saying highlight_string removes the backslashes, this is NOT the case. sites using EVAL, eval removes the backslash, vbb uses eval, it removes the \ on submission. I used to use eval, it removed the backslash on submit. Reproduce code: --------------- $patterns[] = "/{ACWB_DISPLAYPAGELOADTIME}/"; $contents[] = "$DisplayPageLoadTime"; $Template_IT = @preg_replace($patterns, $contents, $string); echo $Template_IT; // I have taken out Eval due to possible security flaws... /* @eval("?>" . $Template_IT . "<?"); */ Expected result: ---------------- Nothing, its just a small snippet Actual result: -------------- . -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26569&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26569&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26569&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26569&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26569&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26569&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26569&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26569&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26569&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26569&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26569&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26569&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26569&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26569&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26569&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26569&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26569&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26569&r=float
