<?

$text=' something and one " ';
  echo("$text\n");
 
$text=preg_replace("/(.*)/e","'\\1'",$text);
  echo($text);

?>

output:

something and one "
something and one \"


- in executable mode preg_replace adds a backslash. Why?
I think it shouldn't do anything with.

- it's the same when I use ' instead ", but switched.

Not a bug. RTM on Magic Quotes.

This still occurs for me, but only with double quotes. I turned off every magic_quotes_* directive in php.ini just to be sure, and it still happens, just as described here. Single quotes, and literal backslashes *are not affected* for me at all.

PHP 4.3.5, BTW.

This is NOT a bogus bug. Sander, it is NOT due to that awful PHP kludge called Magic Quotes. Magic Quotes puts backslashes into data received through $_GET, $_POST, or $_COOKIE. None of those are being used here.

Due to this bug, I am going to have to write my own character-by-character string replacer, or fire up Perl in the background with backticks. I hate PHP.

This is hardy bogus.  GPC isn't even involved, just look at the code sample.

This bug is ludicrous.
