When the first character of an anchor tag's contents is a '-', the last character of the contents gets replaced with a '>'.

Example:
<html>
<a>-bc</a>
</html>

In this example the 'c' is replaced with a '>'.
Remove <html> from this example, or put any other character before the '-', and the 'c' will remain unchanged.

It sounds like trans-sid problem.
Need more details what you are doing.

What are you doing when you see this problem?
Use latest PHP source always with ZE2.

Just create a file test.php containing this minimalized example:
<html>
<a>-bc</a>
</html>
You will see that PHP changes the 'c' into a '>'.

I'm sorry if I filed this bug under the wrong category... It seems to be Zend related, but I'm using Zend version 1.2.0.

I have observed this bug in PHP4.2.2 on both Windows and Linux.
I too suspect this has something to do with trans-sid, but setting session.use_trans_sid = 0 makes no difference.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip

I can not reproduce this with PHP 4.2.3 or PHP 4.3.0-dev
(using the default php.ini-dist)

This looked like a PHP bug because it was reproducible on different servers and in different browsers, but it turned out to be Norton Security that was interfering...
