Description:
------------
I'm using fread to retrieve the contents of a .js file. If within the file this string exists, '/g'. it strips this with a empty space and 'String' with empty space. If '/g' dosen't exists, everything works fine.

heres the .js file

function trim(str){    
 // str. remove whitespaces from left. remove whitespaces from right    
 return str.replace(/^\s+/g, "").replace(/\s+$/g, ""); 
}

String.prototype.trim = trim;

The Apache and PHP i'm using comes from xampplite from apachefriends.org. I didn't make any configuration changes.

I can send you the contents of phpinfo() if will help

Reproduce code:
---------------
if ($handle = @fopen($file, 'rb')) 
	  { $filesize = filesize( $file );
	    if ($contents = fread($handle, $filesize)) 
			{
			  $contents = file_get_contents( $file );
			  if ( eregi( 'trim.js' , $file ) ) {
			    print "<br/><br/><h1>$contents</h1>";
			   
			   }
			   
	     return $contents; fclose($handle); 
	    } 
			else 
			{ 
	   
	   $GLOBALS['IG_ERROR_PHP'] = $php_errormsg;
	   $GLOBALS['IG_ERROR_SPEC'] = "$file";
	   
	   IF ($return==TRUE)  
		  return 'ERR0104'; 
		 ELSE 
		  return FALSE; 
	  }
   }

Expected result:
----------------
return the full contents

Actual result:
--------------
It strips certain text out, as explained above
