Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-15 11:32:24] Progman2002 at gmx dot de Description: ------------ Its only a typo: preg_match is defined as: int preg_match ( string pattern, string subject [, array matches [, int flags [, int offset]]]) so, it will return an integer.. which is wrong: | flags can be the following flag: | | PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE | | If this flag is passed, for every occurring match the | appendant string offset will also be returned. Note that | this changes the return value in an array where every | element is an array consisting of the matched string at | offset 0 and its string offset into subject at offset 1. | This flag is available since PHP 4.3.0 . So it can also return an Array. | preg_match() returns FALSE if an error occurred. And it can return FALSE. So the "int" of the return-value must be changed to "mixed" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=28408&edit=1
