New Comment:
Yeah, it has been like this for ages, so we can't "fix" it. It will
only add the optional captures if they are in the middle. In that case
we add some empty padding values.

This is expected for flag different of default. (PREG_PATTERN_ORDER)

Description:
------------
The code and results attached show two examples of preg_* demonstrating
how an optional parenthesis match at the end of a regular expression is
not being captured if the optional condition is not matched.
I think this is a bug, because if the optional parenthesis is not the
last one in the regex, the empty value IS captured - which suggests that
it should not be omitted just because it happens to be the last one.
Reproduce code:
---------------
preg_match_all("/(1)(23)?/", "12314123", $match, PREG_SET_ORDER);
print_r($match);
print_r(preg_split("/(1)(23)?/", "12314123", -1,
PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE));
Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 123
[1] => 1
[2] => 23
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 1
[2] =>
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => 123
[1] => 1
[2] => 23
)
)
Array
(
[0] =>
[1] => 1
[2] => 23
[3] =>
[4] => 1
[5] =>
[6] => 4
[7] => 1
[8] => 23
[9] =>
)
Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 123
[1] => 1
[2] => 23
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 1
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => 123
[1] => 1
[2] => 23
)
)
Array
(
[0] =>
[1] => 1
[2] => 23
[3] =>
[4] => 1
[5] => 4
[6] => 1
[7] => 23
[8] =>
)
