note 71320 deleted from function.ereg by tularis

Note Submitter: mathieu dot guilbaud at NOSPAM dot univ-lehavre dot fr ---- The documentation of the ereg function doesn't explain correctly the return code : * if the third argument is provided the return code is equal to the number of characters that matches the regexp * if the third argument is not provided the return code is a boolean (0 or 1) The following code : <?php echo strlen("a-b.c@example.com") . "<br>"; echo ereg("[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z]+", "a-b.c@example.com", $tab) . "<br>"; echo ereg("[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.[a-zA-Z]+", "a-b.c@example.com") . "<br>"; ?> returns 17 17 1
