Re: [Phpmyadmin-devel] a PHP 5.1.2 bug?

Hi Marc!

Look at this sample code:

<?php $the_query = "INSERT INTO `aaa` (`f1`, `f2`) VALUES ('1', 'aaa')"; preg_match('@INSERT\sINTO\s\`([^\`]+)\`@iu', $the_query, $error_table = array() ); print_r($error_table); ?>

It surprises me that this has ever worked :)

I guess that PHP 5.1.2 has a different way of evaluating/processing the order of the array assignment. But the way of specifieing an assignment within a function call is something I've never seen before, and also looks a bit misleading-codewise, IMHO.

So you might want to ask how this problem came, but I'm pretty sure the answer will be "It was never meant to work, so you shouldn't have relied on it. We fixed this because of memory corruption issues" ;-)

Best regards, Garvin
