It'll come out something like this.

Warning: Compilation failed: missing terminating ] for
character class at offset 20 in /home/nst/forum/viewtopic.php(1110) :
regexp code on line 1

It'll give a full path disclosure and also one thing that i noticed is
that the posts change it doesn't come out nothing.
In the HighLight Variable

Here is the problem:
-----[ Start Vuln Code ] ------------------------------------

1106: if ($highlight_match)
1107: {
1108: // This was shamelessly 'borrowed' from volker at multiartstudio dot de
1109: // via php.net's annotated manual
1110: $message = str_replace('\"', '"', 
substr(preg_replace('#(\>(((?>([^><]+|(?R)))*)\<))#se', "preg_replace('#\b(" . 
$highlight_match . ")\b#i', '<span style=\"color:#" . $theme['fontcolor3'] . 
"\"><b>\\\\1</b></span>', '\\0')", '>' . $message . '<'), 1, -1));
1111: }

-----[ Ends Vulns Code ] ------------------------------------

OK other thing that i noticed was in php.ini
