#32985 [Opn]: /e Modifier Escaping Double Quotes With \ Even Though Magic Quotes Is Off

I ended up doing a str_replace for \" as a temporary fix until this gets resolved.

Reproduce code: --------------- $data = ' " ' $data = preg_replace('/(")/ie', "'$1'", $data); echo $data; Expected result: ---------------- " Actual result: -------------- \" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32985&edit=1
