Bug #26678 [Com]: preg_quote doesn't quote forward slashes

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=26678&edit=1 ID: 26678 Comment by: vovan-ve at yandex dot ru Reported by: gnif at spacevs dot com Summary: preg_quote doesn't quote forward slashes Status: Bogus Type: Bug Package: *Regular Expressions Operating System: Debain PHP Version: 4.3.2 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I'm sorry for necroposting. Why optional value for $delimiter is NULL? I cannot understand, when I must not escape any delimiter? PCRE always requires delimiter for regexp. I think, there are no such situation, when delimiter can be omitted. OTOH, preg_quote() must not suppose, that delimiter is slash by default due to there are no defaults to delimiter in regexp. In this case, why $delimiter _is_ optional?
