The "$regs will be filled with exactly ten elements, even though more or fewer than ten parenthesized substrings may actually have matched" problem with ereg(), is showing on Windows boxes - also above version 4.1.0.

The same script, tested on a Unix box worked as suspected.

When I use ereg()'s possibility to capture the matches with $reg[] and make an expression with 10+ matches, it won?t capture matches above $reg[9].

On the other hand, if I make 9 or less matches, the $reg[] always count 10 entries ($reg[0]- $reg[9]).

The error only appears on Windows systems ? on Unix systems, the bug is fixed?

Just as described in the note on http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ereg.php
