Bug description: preg_match regexps not greedy by default
Perl regexps are greedy by default. \d+ will get all decimals possible
(\d+? will only find one - it's lazy). It seems preg_match is not greedy
by default.
code:
preg_match("/^\w+(\d+)$/", $change_link, $change_id);
print("My ID is $change_id[1]<BR>");
when passed: "edit11"
change_id[1] is equal to "1". It should be equal to "11" especially when
my regexp is looking for the end of the line ($) after it!
