For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. RTFM: You need to use double backslashes to quote stuff..

Neither work, while following documentation examples. Reproduce code: --------------- // String: $line = "This is pretty much a [url=\"http://www.wiki.org/?WhatIsAWIki\"]Wiki[/url] but with a twist of [BBCode] and a few other site specific [Hacks]"; // Attempt #1: preg_match_all("/\[(\/?[\w\d\-\_]+(=\"[\w\d\S\s\?]+?\")?)\]/",$line,$parse); print_r($parse); // Attempt #2: preg_match_all("/\[(\/?[\w\d\-\_]+(=\"[\w\d\S\s\\\?]+?\")?)\]/",$line,$parse); print_r($parse); Expected result: ---------------- I expected that the values "url=http://www.wiki.org/?WhatIsAWIki" and "http://www.wiki.org/?WhatIsAWIki" would be picked up from the regex into $parse. It works with the following PERL one liner: perl -e '$string = "This is pretty much a [url=\"http://www.wiki.org/?WhatIsAWIki\"]Wiki[/url] but with a twist of [BBCode] and a few other site specific [Hacks]"; @match = $string =~ m/\[(\/?[\w\d\-\_]+(=\"[\w\d\S\s\?]+?\")?)\]/; print "Match: " . join(",",@match) . "\n"' Match: url="http://www.wiki.org/?WhatIsAWIki",="http://www.wiki.org/?WhatIsAWIki" Actual result: -------------- Matches nothing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=27949&edit=1
