Bug description: $ can't be escaped when using ereg function
Please see the codes below:
<?
$arrfile = '<?include("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/TEMPLATES/TOP-BANNER.HTM");?>';
if(eregi("<\?include\(\"\$DOCUMENT_ROOT/TEMPLATES/TOP-BANNER\.HTM\"\);\?>",$arrfile))
print "good\n";
else
print "bad\n";
?>
The result will return "bad" because the eregi can't find the expression in
the $arrfile. If I removed the $, it will return "good". I guess "$" can't
be escaped inside the eregi function. Please help.
