#12688 [Com]: preg_match doesn't return newlines in match array

ID: 12688 Comment by: anal-interracial983 at hotmail dot com Reported By: jax at uia dot net Status: Bogus Bug Type: *Regular Expressions Operating System: FreeBSD 4.2 PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: <a href=http://b-ripped-3d-porn-bo.da.ru>interracial anal</a> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-10 11:21:21] jax at uia dot net Ahhhh, Heh, sorry about that. I verified that they have deprecated $*! I am too old for this stuff ;) Thanks! Eating crow, --Liam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-10 11:02:03] alindeman@php.net that is exactly how it works in perl (and I got the answer to your bug from my Perl book...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-10 10:56:39] jax at uia dot net Why is this bug bogus? Isn't it a valid bug when something doesn't Work As Advertised or doesn't Work As Expected? If these are really perl-compatible regexp functions, this is a real, valid bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-10 08:49:31] alindeman@php.net add an "s" to the end of your reg exp. if (preg_match('/Here(.*)$/s',$someline,$matches)){ ^ this mean "treat everything as one line" and it will parse the newline. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-10 02:20:48] jax at uia dot net This is not a core dump, but rather an output problem with preg_match. Here is a short script: $someline = "Here is some line.\n"; if ( preg_match('/Here(.*)$/',$someline,$matches) ) { $out = $matches[1]; } print "<pre>[$out]</pre>"; $out now contains no newline when this clearly should be included! --Liam ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12688&edit=1
