Bug #15477: ereg_replace and str_replace non function

From: lee.bolding@ukonline.co.uk Operating system: RedHat 7.1 PHP version: 4.1.1 PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: ereg_replace and str_replace non function the following script fails to work with both ereg_replace and str_replace. $sql = "select table.id, table.user, table.pass, FROM table, WHERE table.id='1234' AND table.user='lee' AND ORDER BY table.id DESC"; This is being automatically generated based on the amount of arguments passed to the script (which explains the superflous ,'s and ANDs). So, I'm using ereg_replace to remove them like so: $sql = ereg_replace(', FROM', ' FROM', $sql); $sql = ereg_replace(', WHERE', ' WHERE', $sql); $sql = ereg_replace('AND ORDER', 'ORDER', $sql); $sql should be modified to: select table.id, table.user, table.pass FROM table WHERE table.id='1234' AND table.user='lee' ORDER BY table.id DESC However, it remains unchanged. With more investigation, the problem seems to be with any pattern that contains a space or special character.
