It, for me, is interesting when preparing string substituitions previously, with the ereg_replace function. Reproduce code: --------------- echo ereg_replace("a", "\\\\0", "bbabb"); Expected result: ---------------- bb\0bb Actual result: -------------- bbabb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=33896&edit=1
