#46947 [NEW]: pattern matching is not working as expected

From: victor at casnt dot ro Operating system: Debian PHP version: 5.2.8 PHP Bug Type: Regexps related Bug description: pattern matching is not working as expected Description: ------------ The exact same pattern matching is not working on the same string, with a extra line at the end. The length of the string seems to be the problem. Reproduce code: --------------- The script: $handle = fopen('test3.xml', "r"); $contents = fread($handle, filesize('test3.xml')); fclose($handle); $contents = preg_replace('/\>[\t|\ |\s]{1,}\</', "><", $contents); $contents = preg_replace('/\n/', "", $contents); if(preg_match('/(\<\?xml.{1,}\<report[^>]{1,}\>)/', $contents, $match)) { print "Match: $match[1]\n"; } else {print "Fail\n";} OBSERVATION: If you delete the last line from the file test3.xml, the pattern matching will work fine. The last lines have nothing to do with the pattern. You can find the file here: http://www.casnt.ro/Files/XML/test3.xml Expected result: ---------------- Match: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><report AppKey="CNAS-v1.0.2801.665" AppID="14" clinic="SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" fiscalCode="11111111" contractNo="123123123/2008" insuranceHouse="CAS-NT" reportingDate="2008-12-07" startFrom="2008-11-01" endTo="2008-11-30" invoiceNo="" labValue="0" hspValue="0" xmlns="http://localhost"> Actual result: -------------- Fail -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=46947&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=46947&r=mysqlcfg
