ID: 31187 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: jackie at jdcdesigns dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Regexps related Operating System: Apache PHP Version: 4.3.10 New Comment: Do not file bugs when you have Zend extensions (zend_extension=) loaded. Examples are Zend Optimizer, Zend Debugger, Turck MM Cache, APC, Xdebug and ionCube loader. These extensions often modify engine behavior which is not related to PHP itself. .
