I indeed see the two entries in the ChangeLog I made when fixing the errors after Beta 3: revision 1.28 date: 1999/11/19 22:59:12; author: andrei; state: Exp; lines: +1 -1 (PHP preg_replace) Fixed a bug that cause backreferences to lose their value after the first occurrence. ---------------------------- revision 1.27 date: 1999/11/19 22:28:06; author: andrei; state: Exp; lines: +2 -2 Fixed a bug that would replace only the first occurrence and result in a parse error for the rest when using /e modifier. -Andrei * Linus's Law: ``Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.'' *
