Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Due to the volume of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not a bug. The support channels will be able to provide an explanation for you. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-07-18 17:56:31] msn at t-network dot nl Description: ------------ It's not possible to use the $n style backreference in the pattern of the PCRE functions. A pattern like this: /\[(u|b|i|s)\](.*)\[\/$1\]/si Should match [b]bold[/b]. However, it does not. This pattern though: /\[(u|b|i|s)\](.*)\[\/\\1\]/si _Will_ match [b]bold[/b]. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php function parseUBB($sString) { // Bold, underline, italic and strike tags $sString = preg_replace("/\[(u|b|i|s)\](.*)\[\/$1\]/si", "<$1>$2</$1>", $sString); return ($sString); } echo parseUBB("[b]testb[/b], [u]testu[/u], [i]testi[/i]"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- <b>testb</b>, <u>testu</u>, <i>testi</i> Actual result: -------------- [b]test[/b], [u]testu[/u], [i]testi[/i] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38135&edit=1
