From: dimmu_bg at yahoo dot com Operating system: linux PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: *Regular Expressions Bug description: Matching large texts
Description: ------------ I tried to parse large html file - 300kb with preg_match_all. The data needed was between <!-- reg:Region_name --> / <!-- end-reg --> elements so i did this pattern #reg:(.+) -->(.+)<!-- end-reg -->#. This was working fine on old version of php (4.4) but what a surprise when upgraded to 5.2.5 ?!? It did not found any matches when the text between the reg and end-reg markers is too large. I tried moving the end-reg marker close to the reg: marker to cover smaller area of html code and it worked for enough small areas. I experimented and moved the end-reg 1 char away from the reg: and it did not returned any match. So i think this is bug and depends of the size of the text i want to match. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44085&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44085&r=mysqlcfg
