Ok, I've got quite the knowledge with PCRE regexp's but is it possible with PCRE to generate this result I wanted? Because quite frankly I've tried on various ways. As in the whole day...

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php "If a capturing subpattern is matched repeatedly, it is the last portion of the string that it matched that is returned." - http://pcre.org/pcre.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-06-13 13:32:03] ralph at deboom dot biz $value = 'sub.sub2.sub3.sub4.domain.ext'; if (preg_match("/^(([a-z0-9]+)(([\.|\-]{1}[a-z0-9]+)|(?R))*\.([a-z]{2,6}))$/i",$value,$match)) { print_R($match); } Thanks to a crappy textarea form I cant properly outline the code.. just indent it yourself ^^ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-06-13 13:29:48] ralph at deboom dot biz Description: ------------ A recursive subpattern turns out to overwrite data of the previous matched call... Thus it will only show the last recursive match it made in the pattern... Reproduce code: --------------- $value = 'sub.sub2.sub3.sub4.domain.ext'; if (preg_match("/^(([a-z0-9]+)(([\.|\-]{1}[a-z0-9]+)|(?R))*\.([a-z]{2,6}))$/i", $value, $match)) { print_R($match); } Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [0] => sub.sub2.sub3.sub4.domain.ext [1] => sub.sub2.sub3.sub4.domain.ext [2] => sub [3] => .sub2.sub3.sub4.domain [4] => .sub2.sub3.sub4.domain [5] => ext ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [0] => sub.sub2.sub3.sub4.domain.ext [1] => sub.sub2.sub3.sub4.domain.ext [2] => sub [3] => .domain [4] => .domain [5] => ext ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45260&edit=1
