#38597 [NEW]: preg_match with long match returns blanc page

From: koen dot devreeze at gmail dot com Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.1.5 PHP Bug Type: PCRE related Bug description: preg_match with long match returns blanc page Description: ------------ When processing this code. The parsing ends on the preg_match function. $t has 475 characters in it. Remove one char and the script works again. PS.: This was also tested with php 5.1.4 on gentoo linux without any problems. Reproduce code: --------------- $t = "---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"; $text = " <p>".$t."</p> <p>Some text doesn't matter how long</p> "; //echo strlen($t); $pattern = '/<p([a-z "=]*)?>((.)*?)<(\/)?p>/'; preg_match($pattern, $text, $paragraphs) or die("died"); echo $paragraphs[0]; Expected result: ---------------- $t should be displayed no matter how many chars it has (though considering limitation of PCRE). Actual result: -------------- Script ends on preg_match after a few seconds of 100% CPU load.
