Ereg and ereg_replace will cause the page to fail. Here's an example program: that's with apache 1.3.14 and large file support - because apache is compiled this way, also php4 needs too. If php4 is not compiled with large file support, it crashes on loading. If it has large file support then it seems the ?reg_* functions are broken. People have also encountred problems with mysql eating memory with scripts working fine with 1.3.12 and without large file support. > <? > $a = "Hello Mars!"; > $a = ereg_replace("Mars", "World", $a); > echo $a; > ?> which gives as most other pages php_reg_replace (pattern=0xffffffff <Address 0xffffffff out of bounds>, replace=0xffffffff <Address 0xffffffff out of bounds>, string=0xffffffff <Address 0xffffffff out of bounds>, icase=-1, extended=-1) at /root/PHP4-4.0.4RC3/php4-4.0.4RC3/ext/standard/reg.c:340 340 while (*walk) (gdb) bt #0 php_reg_replace (pattern=0xffffffff <Address 0xffffffff out of bounds>, replace=0xffffffff <Address 0xffffffff out of bounds>, string=0xffffffff <Address 0xffffffff out of bounds>, icase=-1, extended=-1) at /root/PHP4-4.0.4RC3/php4-4.0.4RC3/ext/standard/reg.c:340 #1 0xffffffff in ??
