From: neufeind Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.6 Package: PCRE related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Offer preg_match with array-support for pattern
Description: ------------ Maybe the existing preg_match could allow for an array to be given as $pattern. Or if not a preg_match_array() might be an alternative. Idea is to check a string against a list of pattern. First matched pattern would return. Test script: --------------- <?php $patterns = array( '/\.link1$/', '/\.link2$/', '/\.link3$/', '/\.link4$/', ); $subject = "field.link2"; if(preg_match($patterns, $subject)) { // ... } Expected result: ---------------- preg_match should find the first pattern that matches (if any). Actual result: -------------- No array-support for $pattern yet. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55179&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=mysqlcfg Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=55179&r=trysnapshot54
