#50615 [NEW]: preg_match() error

From: jzumbrun at gmail dot com Operating system: OsX 10.6.1 PHP version: 5.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Regexps related Bug description: preg_match() error Description: ------------ // $line equals line below from file: $route['infox/(.*)'] = "articles/$1"; Basically I have to manually put an \ in front of the / char after infox. preg_quote() wont escape it and the documentation doesnt say i need to escape / chars. preg_match() is forcing me to put one there. Reproduce code: --------------- --- From manual page: function.preg-quote --- $urlClass = '\$route\['infox'/\(\.\*\)'\]'; preg_match("/$urlClass/", $line); Expected result: ---------------- no errors Actual result: -------------- Message: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Unknown modifier '\' if i use $urlClass = '\$route\['infox'\/\(\.\*\)'\]'; it works (notice the \ infront of the 3rd char after infox) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50615&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50615&r=mysqlcfg
