Description: ------------ preg_split fails on some specific input, which seems to be caused by a subpattern. If in the testcode I reduce the length of the string in between the middle [..], it works fine. Test script: --------------- <?php $input = '[a][012345678901234 ][a]'; // first match a [, then anything but spaces, end with ] $tokens = preg_split('/\\[([^\\s]*)*\\]/U', $input); print_r($tokens); $tokens = preg_split('/\\[[^\\s]*\\]/U', $input); print_r($tokens); Expected result: ---------------- Array ( [0] => [1] => [012345678901234 ] [2] => ) Array ( [0] => [1] => [012345678901234 ] [2] => ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( [0] => [1] => [012345678901234 ][a] ) Array ( [0] => [1] => [012345678901234 ] [2] => ) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53118&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53118&r=mysqlcfg
