From: Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: Program Execution Bug Type: Bug Bug description:ereg() no longer works as in earlier versions
Description: ------------ PHP scripts that use the ereg() function and which worked properly in earlier versions may no longer work because of a change in the way ereg() deals with function arguments. Namely, ereg() now seems to check the "expected argument" type and throws an error if the argument is of a different type. I came across this bug on a brand new, clean install of Drupal 6.3 with the Ubercart ecommerce package. With PHP 5.3 running, certain images would not display and multiple warning messages would pop up, each of them detailing the culprit as ereg(). Simply by changing the running PHP version to 5.2.11 cured all problems. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51413&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51413&r=mysqlcfg
