ereg_replace update

Okay, my bad. Pulled a new CVS tree, the ereg_replace coredump has been fixed. But -- the problem with the use of an integer as a string still happens in PHP4. I don't want to file a bug on it before I know it actually IS a bug. Actually it seems to work differently from PHP3 now too... Basically, as I said in my other e-mail, this is the sample code: <?php $number = 1000; $string = "/something/%s/"; $string = ereg_replace("\%s", $number, $string); print "<H1>$string</H1>\n"; ?> In PHP3, I get /something/1000/ as the output unless $number is less than 256, then I seem to get /something/*/ where * is the character represented by the ascii value of $number. In PHP4, I get an "è" (sorry if that doesn't come through in an e-mail). If I cast it using (string) $number in the ereg_replace call, it works as you'd expect. Is this a bug, or a feature? It seems like a *very* non-standard thing to do in a non-typed (or at least not strongly-typed) language to convert and number to a character when doing a non-specific string conversion, rather than converting it to a string representation of the number. - George -- email:dotorg@bangsplat.org;url:www.bangsplat.org;uin:153182;aim:tgd98 GCS/GP/GS/GFA d- s+: a- C++++$ UL++++$ P+++$ L+++$ E- W++>$ N+@ !o K+++ w--- !O M-@ V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t-(+) 5- X++ R-(--) tv+ b+++ DI++ D++ G+ e* h r y++
