Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-06-20 17:40:55] PWMoosman@aol.com I'm trying to use preg_replace to replace $ with \$. Here is a sample script: <? $data = '$_hello_$world'; $data = preg_replace('/\$/i','\$',$data); print "data : $data\n"; ?> I expect the script to output \$_hello_\$world. However, version 4.0.5 is outputing $_hello_$world. This worked in version 4.0.4 It possible this bug is related to bug# 10668 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=11594&edit=1
