Description:
------------
The ereg_replace-function can't handle a closing hook in a string as parameter. Try this to reproduce the bug:

$message = ereg_replace(":-)","<img src='../images/hi.gif'>",$message);

It chokes on the first parameter seeing a ')'. As the string is enclosed by quotes it shouldn't do this and parse on the string until the last quote is found.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$message = ereg_replace(":-)","<img src='../images/hi.gif'>",$message);



Expected result:
----------------
1. modified content of the string entitled 'message'
2. unmodifed content of the string entitled 'message'



Actual result:
--------------
script is exited

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
