Doc #60401 [NEW]: Example 4 results in double quotes slashed

From: Operating system: Windows PHP version: 5.3.8 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Example 4 results in double quotes slashed Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.preg-replace --- Example #4 from preg_replace() it states: This would capitalize all HTML tags in the input text. But it does not mention that double quotes would get slashes added. Using the example would result in the text: <div class="test"> to be converted to: <DIV class=\"test\"> The tag is indeed converted to uppercase as it states, but slashes are added to double quotes. See below for perhaps a more robust example that accounts for this (basically run the rest through str_replace() that replaces \" with "). Test script: --------------- <?php $html_body = '<div class="test">'; //Solution from example #4 $html_upper = preg_replace("/(<\/?)(\w+)([^>]*>)/e", "'\\1'.strtoupper('\\2').'\\3'", $html_body); echo $html_upper; //resulted output: <DIV class=\"test\"> //Better solution: $html_upper = preg_replace("/(<\/?)(\w+)([^>]*>)/e", "'\\1'.strtoupper('\\2').str_replace('\\\"','\"','\\3')", $html_body); echo $html_upper; //resulted output: <DIV class="test"> ?> -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60401&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=60401&r=mysqlcfg
