Req #53238 [NEW]: Make third parameter of preg_match_all optional
From:
Operating system: any
PHP version: 5.3.3
Package: PCRE related
Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description:Make third parameter of preg_match_all optional
Description:
------------
I had to count the time a regular expression is in a string, and the
correct way to do this is with the return value of preg_match_all() because
preg_match() will always return either 0 or 1.
The problem is that preg_match_all() enforces the third parameter. My
request is to align the prototype of preg_match_all() to the one of
preg_match(), i.e. making the third parameter optional.
Test script:
---------------
$cnt = preg_match_all('/<br\s*\/?>/i', "this<br/>my<br>text");
var_dump($cnt);
Expected result:
----------------
int(2)
Actual result:
--------------
Warning: preg_match_all() expects at least 3 parameters, 2 given in - on
line 2
bool(false)
