Operating system: Any
PHP version:      7.3.0RC2
Package:          PCRE related
Bug Type:         Bug
Bug description:preg_match difference between 7.3 and < 7.3 - II

Description:
------------
It seems that '/^[\\w-:]+$/' is no more a valid regular expression with
PHP 7.3: we now have this error

Compilation failed: invalid range in character class at offset 4

I understand that this regex is malformed (I think that the original
author of the affected regex may have meant '/^[\\w\\-:]+$/'), but it's
a breaking change:
that regular expression worked for all the previous PHP versions (see
https://3v4l.org/vD5O2 )



Test script:
---------------
<?php

$tag = 'p';

var_dump(preg_match('/^[\\w-:]+$/', $tag));
