ID: 10516 Updated by: andrei Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: PCRE related PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 Assigned To: Comments: The results you get are consistent with (?R) description in PCRE docs. If you have a problem with that, contact the PCRE library author, please. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-04-26 17:05:56] [EMAIL PROTECTED] $s = "a(b(c)d)e(f)g"; $p = "/( ( ( (?>[^()]+) | (?R) )* ) )/xU"; if (preg_match_all($p, $s, $x)) { echo "match"; // see what's in $x } else { echo "no match"; } This example pattern is taken straigh out of the PCRE docs, but I don't get the desired result, whatever I try. I haven't been able to succesfully use the experimental (?R) so I was wondering if anyone ever has. In perl, recursive patterns seem to work fine by the way.
