If you accidently put something like the following in 
str_replace the server goes nuts and does not return 
any information.

<?
$code = "hello";
$string = "Hello, Bob how are you";
$text = str_replace("$code", "hey", $string);
?>

This only occurs when you put $code in quotation marks. 
Shouldnt it come up? I did this the server load went 
from 0.05 to 23.4

got a little mistake in there, "shoudnt it come up?" 
should be "shoudnt it come up with an error?"

I could not reproduce it with exactly that code. 
Tried both 4.3.0 and current PHP_4_3 branch.

ok this is the code i used it with:
<?
$file = file("smillies.db");
      foreach($file as $value){
           list($rand,$code,$image) = explode("|<|", 
$value);
           $code = stripslashes($code);
           $fusnewsm = str_replace("$code","<img 
src=\"http://images.devdino.com/smillies/$image\" 
border=\"0\">",$fusnewsm );
      }
?>
You will need smilies.db you can get it from
www.devdino.com/smillies.db.

Significant portions of the str_replace function are rewritten in the development branch.  Can you try downloading a snapshot of PHP-5.0-dev and seeing if the problem persists?  I'd also like to ask you to try the latest snapshot of the stable branch. PHP-4.3-stable

And incidently your first example shouldn't come up with any error, it should simply fail to replace anything (str_replace is case-sensitive)
