Bug #10314: split() function is'nt stable

From: ttttntl@yahoo.com Operating system: Linux Redhat 7 PHP version: 4.0.4pl1 PHP Bug Type: *Regular Expressions Bug description: split() function is'nt stable Hi, I use split function to seprate two parts of a .php file content(size 6KB), but the second array variable some times includes extra strange characters at the end. These characters are not in the string content! Ex: $globalcontent=fread($dfile, filesize($globalfile)); $array = split("startreplace(.*)endreplace", $globalcontent); echo htmlentities($array[0])."<br><font color=red>------<br></font>".htmlentities($array[1]); ---------------- The first time running split() almost return result exactly, but when I re-run the script file, each time re-run, it adds some strange charaters into the end value of the second variable ($array[1]) - end of content of $globalcontent is "?>" - but end of content of $array[1] some times is "?>gu
", another time is "?> i", ... ---------------- -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=10314&edit=1
