//script is using mysql to connect to database

// $match doesn't matter - tried different patterns
$match = '/a/';
//if the following line is disabled everything goes as usual
//also the third element ($bout) is not the problem - tried
//without it - script won't run at all (no output - no
//errors)
preg_match_all($match, $body, $bout);

it seems like it dies after the first preg_match_all.
$body is fetched via mysql_fetch_array - it seems like preg_match_all doesn't like data from sql - if i pass a string (in the same script) - everything goes well... 

strange it is :)

Please provide the exact string you?ve fetched from the db...

the string - it doesn't matter.
i tried several strings. short, long, one line, multiline.
always the same. script dies when it encounters the first preg_match_all.

the same happens for php3 (latest). i have just tried it.

the script: http://tx.pl/edys/admin/script.txt

Could you please make reproducing script without DB accesses? It's impossible to test this way.

ok. delete this bug as it is not a bug at all.
i found it to be an error in my database. and unfortunately i had an @ there so no error could be printed.

sorry! and keep up the good work :)
