This only applies to PHP 4.0.4
Back with PHP 4.0.2, I could do this:
<?PHP
$string = "[[";
$string = preg_replace("/(\W)/", "\\\\1", $string);
?>
$string would then contain "\[\[".
Now, if I use that same code, $string contains "\\1\\1\\1\\1".
I tried to compensate for this using PHP's new ability to allow
perl syntax in the replace section.
<?PHP
$string = "[[";
$string = preg_replace("/(\W)/", "\\$1", $string);
?>
That leaves $string with "\$1\$1\$1\$1". Which tells me it thought
I was backreferencing the $. So, to combat said assumption, I tried
three, four, even five slashes in front of $1, and nothing worked.
All I got were variations of "\$1\$1\$1\$1".
I have to assume this is a bug, since this worked back in 4.0.2 which
I stopped using due to segfaults under certain circumstances.
Ideas?
