I don't believe it's a modifier issue either. Reproduce code: --------------- $message=isset($_POST['message']) ? htmlentities(trim($_POST['message'])) :''; $array1=array(); $array2=array(); $array1[]='/http:\/\/' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '\/(.*)/'; $array2[]='<a href="http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/$1">http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . '/$1</a>'; $output=preg_replace($array1,$array2,$message); Expected result: ---------------- In my case, the http host is turkeybot.olddh.com, and I post http://turkeybot.olddh.com/downloads/index.php. The output is expected to be: <a href="http://turkeybot.olddh.com/downloads/index.php">http://turkeybot.olddh.com/downloads/index.php</a> Actual result: -------------- The output I'm really getting is: <a href="http://turkeybot.olddh.com/">http://turkeybot.olddh.com/</a>downloads/index.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29486&edit=1
