A short example :

$newsitem = preg_replace('/(<([a-zA-Z-]+) ([^>]*)analyze="[0-9]*"([^>]*)>)(.*?)(<\/\\2>)/mse', "'\\1'.transformNewsitemPart('\\5').'\\6'", $newsitem);

where I transform the text between any html tag with "analyze" attribute.

The problem is that the preg_replace function with e modifier adds backslashes before any " in the matched text (\\5) BEFORE the function transformNewsitemPart is interpreted.

The behaviour is new in php 4.0.4. It was not present in php 4.0.3.

This is a nice feature, not a bug. See my user contributed note in the manual under preg_replace. Maybe someone should document this behavior.

this is a duplicate of #12668 (which has more discussion about the issue, which is why i'm pointing this at the later report instead of vice versa).

As is the one this was duplicate of: #12668
