#28119 [NEW]: ereg_replace require string casting?

From: vb_user at yahoo dot com Operating system: Windows 2003 PHP version: 4.3.5 PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: ereg_replace require string casting? Description: ------------ When i pass in ereg_replace a variable like this: ereg_replace($pattern, $variable, $string); and $variable is holding an integer value, then $string will be replace with blank, not the value hold in $variable. This only happen in Windows installation not Linux as i have used this many times. Doing the following will fix the problem: ereg_replace($pattern, (string)$variable, $string); But does that mean PHP is now no long type tolerant? Reproduce code: --------------- $variable = 13; $pattern = 'test'; $string = 'this is a test'; ereg_replace($pattern, $variable, $string); Expected result: ---------------- this is 13 Actual result: -------------- this is -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28119&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28119&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28119&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28119&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28119&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28119&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28119&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28119&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28119&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28119&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28119&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28119&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28119&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28119&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28119&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28119&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28119&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=28119&r=float
