User updated by: trevor at ridgebizdev dot com
Reported by: trevor at ridgebizdev dot com
Summary: RegEx matching fails
Status: Bogus
Type: Feature/Change Request
Package: PCRE related
Operating System: Windows XP
PHP Version: 5.3.2
New Comment:
preg_last_error() has been available only for months with PHP 5.2.0. If
you notice my style of ${1}, you know I've been using these functions
since before 5.2.0. Who demanded preg_last_error() and when? Why don't
the preg_ functions use preg_last_error()? preg_last_error() is
working, but it's only half of the process of finishing the preg_
functions. Whether the expression fails to match or if the expression
engine crashes (which sounds like failing to match) then the argument
string is the return value--not the empty string. Do you dig it?

preg_last_error() is stellar. Why is it not used properly by the preg_
functions?

Setting the pcre.backtrack_limit makes 51777 an installation feature
request; however, because no warning is fired, the report remains a bug.

[Pcre]
;PCRE library backtracking limit.
; http://php.net/pcre.backtrack-limit
;pcre.backtrack_limit=100000
;PCRE library recursion limit.
;Please note that if you set this value to a high number you may consume
all
;the available process stack and eventually crash PHP (due to reaching
the
;stack size limit imposed by the Operating System).

I have nothing set (I must be using the default). I use Windows XP
Professional with 4GB RAM and Core2Duo.

Works here. Do you have a pcre.backtrack_limit set?
