[PHP4BETA] 4b3: split(): bad regular expression for split() From: Chris Shenton (cshenton <email protected>)
Date: 01/28/00

Using it on Solaris-2.6 Sparc.

I used the sample from the online manual:

<?
$date = "04/30/1973"; // Delimiters may be slash, dot, or hyphen
list( $month, $day, $year ) = split( '[/.-]', $date );
echo "Month: $month; Day: $day; Year: $year<br>\n";
?>

And I get:

Warning: bad regular expression for split() in
/opt/whalemail/apache/htdocs/myproject/test/date.php on line 3
Month: ; Day: ; Year:

I played around with it and got it to fail without returning any
output, sometimes after hanging for quite a few seconds. I saw
messages like the following in the logs:

[Fri Jan 28 12:14:17 2000] [notice] child pid 10582 exit signal Segmentation Fault (11)
FATAL: emalloc(): Unable to allocate -1515870799 bytes
FATAL: erealloc(): Unable to allocate 1515870818 bytes

Other samples from the manual ``split(":", $passwd, 5)'' failed
similarly, as did attempts to use ereg_replace() [presumably because
it uses the same split() code?]
