#23053 [NEW]: preg_match cause PHP overload the CPU

From: php at soundofos dot demon dot nl Operating system: windows 2000 PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: *Regular Expressions Bug description: preg_match cause PHP overload the CPU According to the documenmtation,preg_match can handle Arrays But this will cause PHP to lock up the computer. $regExp = "/((\/\*)+([\*]*\s*)+(\w+ *)+([\*]\s*(\*+\/{1}))+){1}/"; $file = file($obj->fileLocation); $sql = preg_replace($regExp,"",$file); I have tried imploding the array obtained from file() first but the result was the same. Maybe i should mention that PHP is running in CGI mode. regards, Ed Hofrichter -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23053&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23053&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23053&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23053&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23053&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23053&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23053&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23053&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23053&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23053&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23053&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23053&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23053&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23053&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=23053&r=gnused
