Description: ------------ This bug affects the implementation of var_export() in the latest PHP_Compat version (4.3.1). Problem: Strings are quoted using $stringdelim, but nevertheless escaping is done with addslashes(). This results in double quotes being escaped with a backslash, although no backslash would be necessary. Solution: It should suffice to exchange the two occurrences of addslashes() with the following code: str_replace($stringdelim, '\\'.$stringdelim, $value) Reproduce code: --------------- echo "<pre>"; print_r(var_export('Hello "Foo" World')); echo "</pre>\n"; Expected result: ---------------- 'Hello "Foo" World' Actual result: -------------- 'Hello \"Foo\" World'

This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the end of next Sunday (CET) on pear.php.net. In case this was a pear.php.net website problem, the change will show up on the website in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PEAR better. I found a number of other problems, they're all fixed now. Diff: http://cvs.php.net/diff.php/pear/PHP_Compat/Compat/Function/var_export.php?r1=1.11&r2=1.12&ty=u
