in the following code:
$string = "#This is an example string";
$tok1 = strtok($string,"#");

$tok1 should equal nothing.. however it equals $string

This bug breaks ACID:

This is not a bug. This is the way strtok() works. Although PHP uses its own implementation, strtok() under C works the same and PHP mimics the C version (anything else would render this function useless).

No bug, bogusifying.

If you need similar functionality take a look at explode()/split()

If this is bogus.. make sure you document the change...
doing strtok($moo,"#") worked fine in earler releases...
I'm fairly certian it worked in 4.0.6

I have found a way to run this correct:

In acid_common.php
replace the script in /* ... */
with my one, that's work


/*  
  strtok($submit,"#");
  $seq = strtok("-");     
         strtok("(");
  $sid = strtok("-");
  $cid = strtok(")");

*/

  $boo = ereg_replace ("\#", " ", $submit);  
  $boo = ereg_replace ("\(", " ", $boo);    
  $boo = ereg_replace ("\)", " ", $boo);    
  $boo = trim($boo);    
  $pieces = explode("-", $boo);  
  $seq = $pieces[0];
  $sid = $pieces[1];
  $cid = $pieces[2];
