note 80815 added to function.ereg

There is undocumented behaviour for this command! You cannot check for strings of 1-256 characters or longer. For example, this will evaluate to true: ereg("^[a-zA-Z0-9' ]{1,255}$","ghfhg"); But this will give the error: PHP Warning: ereg(): REG_BADBR ereg("^[a-zA-Z0-9' ]{1,256}$","ghfhg"); PHP version (on Windows XP): PHP 5.2.5 (cli) (built: Nov 8 2007 23:18:51) Copyright (c) 1997-2007 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Zend Technologies ---- Server IP: 194.145.210.3 Probable Submitter: 90.203.183.181 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/80815 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80815/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80815/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80815/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80815/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80815/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80815/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80815 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/80815 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
