PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: POSIX regex are important
Description:
------------
why is PHP deprecating the pervasive, very important POSIX regex support?
nearly every script i have ever written and/or taught in the past 8 years
uses posix regex, and now it will ALL be useless? my customers will be
disappointed and their code won't work. just LEAVE THE POSIX REGEX ALONE.
Reproduce code:
---------------
ereg('posix')
Expected result:
----------------
success
Actual result:
--------------
the single worst mistake php has ever made
