The following line I would expect to produce a parse error since the third argument of the ereg function is not a variable.

ereg("^(ONE|TWO)[ ]+(THREE FOUR)$","ONE FOUR",argreg);

Instead the scripting engine bombs out with no output before producing any output that should have been before it.  This suggests that the error is occuring during the parse phase.

I haven't included a backtrace since your instructions on howto do so was a missing page.

"Not Found
The requested URL /version4/bugs-generating-backtrace.php3 was not found on this server."

Thanks

Richard

Your error_reporting value is probably not set high
enough to show compile-time errors.
Set your error_reporting to 65535 in php.ini, and you would see the compile-time error.
