Bug #12614 Updated: AddSlashes doen't escape Curly braces "{"'s

ID: 12614 Updated by: vlad Reported By: mark@asplen.co.uk Old Status: Open Status: Bogus Bug Type: Strings related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.0CVS-2001-08-07 New Comment: That's one way to fix it. Another is to use addcslashes() instead, but you might have to upgrade your version of php first. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-07 06:28:58] mark@asplen.co.uk AFAIK this is not fixed in versoins beyong 4.0.1pl2 which is what I'm using. I'm using PHP to modify Latex files - particularly to substitute PHP variables with values from a database. Therefore my Latex file could contain: \textbf{$php_variable} I read lines from the Latex file and use something like: $input_line = AddSlashes( fgets($fp)); $str = eval($input_line); As the input line includes a {$ the eval function assumes an array calculation and the { is left out of the output string. I've fixed the problem by adding an additional str_replace to escape the { with \{ first.
