[Phplib-users] problem in template.inc

[Hristo O. <od...@gm...>]

Hi everybody!
As the bug list seems not really in use :), I will bother you here
with this issue.
If you try to set a variable which has several backslashes, they will
be interpreted as escaping!
Ex.:
template.inc->function subst()-> the line with preg_replace.

If you enter a variable "big bla \\\\", you will get  "big bla \".
That is due to the greedy regular expression nature of the
preg_replace implementation and could be very annoying to find. So my
solution was to use str_replace for the backslash case but I think
there are also other possible cases where this effect ruins the
output.

Regards,
Christo

The current (CVS) version of template.inc handles special characters
correctly.
