Bug #71036 [NEW]: When using /x modifier, a "/" in a regex comment is seen as a regex delimiter
From: cmanley at xs4all dot nl
Operating system: Debian 8.2
PHP version: 5.6.16
Package: PCRE related
Bug Type: Bug
Bug description:When using /x modifier, a "/" in a regex comment is seen as a regex
delimiter
Description:
------------
The documentation for the x (PCRE_EXTENDED) modifier states:
"characters between an unescaped # outside a character class and the
next newline character, inclusive, are also ignored"
Yet this is not the case in my test example:
The "/" in the regex comment "# firstname/alias" is seen as a regex
delimiter.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
$fullname = 'Joe Blow';
if (preg_match('/^
(\S+) # firstname/alias
\s+
\S+ # surname
$/x', $fullname, $matches)) {
print $matches[1] . "\n";
}
Expected result:
----------------
Joe
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning: preg_match(): Unknown modifier 'a' in /home/cmanley/t.php
