It was not intended and is a trivial porting mistake. It affected also ext/pcre/tests/bug52971.phpt which looked like a beaviour change. Seems there might be also an additional issue with the locale handling on Windows. I'm not sure yet it's about PCRE2 or setlocale(), needs more investigation. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-06-21 15:51:13] cmb@php.net > It seems to me that this PCRE_UCP[1] should actually be PCRE2_UCP. Indeed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-06-21 14:19:32] cmb@php.net It seems to me that this PCRE_UCP[1] should actually be PCRE2_UCP.

See https://3v4l.org/uJKEC I don't know if this is intended, but since the change is not mentioned in the UPGRADING file, it might be not. Test script: --------------- var_dump(preg_match('/\w/u', 'ä')); Expected result: ---------------- The test script returns int(1) on PHP <7.3 and int(0) on PHP 7.3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76512&edit=1
