#47278 [NEW]: preg_match behaves different to version 4.4.4

From: franklyn dot santana at gmail dot com Operating system: Windows 2003 Server PHP version: 5.2.8 PHP Bug Type: *Regular Expressions Bug description: preg_match behaves different to version 4.4.4 Description: ------------ I have a code for url rewrite, I use the preg_match function to separate the GET parameters. The code works fine in PHP 4.4.4, I get a matches array with the GET parameters. But it doesn't work on PHP 5.28, the matches array is empty. I was checking the documentation and It seems there are not changes on this function. Reproduce code: --------------- $url="http://localhost/test+param-2009.html"; preg_match("/\/[^+]*\+?[^+]+\++([^-]*)-?([^-]*)-?([^-]*)-?([^-]*)-?([^-]*)-?". "([^-]*)-?([^-]*)-?([^-]*)-?([^-]*)-?([^-]*)-?([^-]*)-?([^-]*)-?([^-]*)-?([^-]*)-?". "([^-]*)-?([^-]*)-?([^-]*)-?([^-]*)-?([^-]*)-?([^-]*)\.html/i", $url, $parameters); print_r($parameters) Expected result: ---------------- /*tested on PHP 4.4.4 Array ( [0] => //localhost/test+param-2009.html [1] => param [2] => 2009 [3] => [4] => [5] => [6] => [7] => [8] => [9] => [10] => [11] => [12] => [13] => [14] => [15] => [16] => [17] => [18] => [19] => [20] => ) Actual result: -------------- Array ( ) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47278&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47278&r=mysqlcfg
