PHP 4.0 Bug #7469 Updated: Irregularity between 'identical' expressions

ID: 7469 Updated by: joey Reported By: john@vbulletin.com Status: Closed Bug Type: *Regular Expressions Assigned To: Comments: This is bcz of the special treatment that the "{$variable}" construct has in PHP. Here's how the statement looks by the time the regex parser gets ahold of it: ([^\n\r \\./<>\"\\-]100) Which is going to replace "$1000" with " $100 0", as you asked it to... Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-25 19:06:17] john@vbulletin.com <? $wordwrap="100"; echo eregi_replace("([^nr \./<>"\-]{$wordwrap})"," \1 ","$1000"); // outputs $100 0 echo eregi_replace("([^nr \./<>"\-]{".$wordwrap."})"," \1 ","$1000"); //outputs $1000 ?> For output, see: http://linux1371.dn.net/test.php I'm not sure what else you need. I can provide most things.
