Hi,
Installed PHP 5 using the ports collection in preparation for installing
phpWebSite (a CMS system). When trying to run the setup program (an
index.php) file on the server I get, "*Fatal error*: Call to undefined
function preg_match() in *
/usr/local/www/apache22/data/phpwebsite_1_3_1/setup/index.php* on line *136"
*. I've found from the php.net web site that this is the PERL compatible
regular expression stuff. Since it's not there, how would I get it?
This is a build-time option with php, and requires the pcre libraries.
Actually, it's been "split out" for some time now; you can get
PCRE support for your pre-existing PHP installation by installing
ports/devel/php5-pcre. But, since most users want PHP to support
many technologies/modules, the general thing to do is to install
ports/lang/php5-extensions and, in this case, be sure that "pcre"
is checked during the configure stage (which, I believe, it is
by default); after that, devel/php5-pcre and several other php5-foo
ports will be added to your system, and PHP will suddenly grok
things like XML, SQL, and Perl-compatible regular expressions
(or at least whatever you enabled).
HTH,
Kevin Kinsey
