PHP 4.0 Bug #9619 Updated: {0,300} returns REG_BADRPT-Warning

ID: 9619 Updated by: dbeu Reported By: zong64@firemail.de Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: *Regular Expressions Assigned To: Comments: the regex will have to look like the following ^(.{0,99}[^ ]*).*$ the ereg functions seem only to support values > 0 & < 100 for the intervals. use preg_replace instead of eregi_replace. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-03-08 06:59:22] zong64@firemail.de $regex = "^(.*{0,300}[^ ]*).*$"; $txt = eregi_replace($regex,"\1",$txt); This Script was written to split a string after 300 lines and the next whitespace. Everytime I use it, it returns the following error: Warning: REG_BADRPT: in f:wwwtest.php on line 12 (With PHP4.0.4pl1 and PHP3.?.?) The critical part of the regex is {0,300} Values from {0,1} to {0,99} are no problem. But every Values bigger 99 are returning this error. I tried to split the regex into: $regex = "^(.*{0,50}.*{0,50}.*{0,50}.*{0,50}.*{0,50}.*{0,50}[^ ]*).*$" But with this regex I only get a white page without any output. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
