Re: [phplib] Problems with PHP 4.0.4, template.inc, and the modified preg_replace() From: Padraic Renaghan (list <email protected>)
Date: 01/25/01

I encountered it on 12/20 and reported it as a PHP bug. See:
  http://bugs.php.net/bugs.php?id=8339

There was also a little discussion on this list regarding that
issue. See:
  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=phplib&m=97733249324120&w=2
You can follow the thread using the above website.

I haven't had time to download and test the CVS version of
PHP which supposedly fixes this problem. Regardless, the
explanation in the bug seems to indicate that we will need
to somehow escape data before passing it through to the
template.
