Re: [PHP] Bug in Ereg?

[Kris Yates]

Just an addendum..   My parser has $colors=""; right before the foreach 
loop.

Hi,

I have a form with checkboxes that POSTs to a PHP script.

What is posted [ from phpinfo() ]:

_POST["color-1"]     on
_POST["color-4"]     on
_POST["color-6"]     on
Parser:
   foreach($_POST as $ThisVar=>$ThisVal){
       if(ereg("color-", $ThisVar) AND $ThisVal=="on" OR $ThisVal==1){
           $newVarA=explode("-", $ThisVar);
           $colors.="$newVarA[1]:";
           }
       }
Expected Output:

$colors="1:4:6:";

Real Output:

$colors=":1:4:6:";

I can work with the output I am getting, however, I am curious why I 
am not getting the "expected output".  Can anyone shed light on this?  
I am using PHP 4.3.2 compiled under a unix environment.  Is this a bug 
in ereg or am I just not seeing something obvious in my foreach?

Thanks,

Kris
