#29802 [Bgs->Opn]: Glitch using preg_match and preg_replace

ID: 29802 User updated by: wesleygoku at yahoo dot com dot br Reported By: wesleygoku at yahoo dot com dot br -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: PCRE related Operating System: Windows 2000 SP4 PHP Version: 4.3.9RC2 New Comment: The problem ISN'T in my regex. If you see my post from 26 Aug 10:25pm CEST, you'll notice this, see: the problem ONLY happens with many "tags", if I reduce it (and I can't do this in the original script), it doesn't happen! How can this kind of behaviour be something in MY regex?! Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-10 13:10:21] nlopess@php.net From what I could read, the problem is in your regex. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-09-06 15:48:33] wesleygoku at yahoo dot com dot br Updated to the latest PHP build, but the problem remains... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-26 22:25:45] wesleygoku at yahoo dot com dot br To clarify the bug, let's explain it better: I'm using preg_replace to replace some code. If this code is bigger than an unknown lenght, something very weird happens. I'm using while to replace ALL of the occurrences in some string, but the preg_match used to verify if the text still appears just tells the code DOESN'T match, although it does! Now, see the problem: This doesn't work, note that many "<ws..." are still there Source code: http://wstec.net/tmp/php_bug_pcre/code_01.html Results: http://wstec.net/tmp/php_bug_pcre/code_01.php Now, without the first two <wsimg>, id works as it should Source code: http://wstec.net/tmp/php_bug_pcre/code_02.html Results: http://wstec.net/tmp/php_bug_pcre/code_02.php I ask you to take a good look at this bug, because I need a resolution about it to keep working on my script. And also note that it isn't with my code, but with the PHP's funcion preg_match and preg_replace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-24 18:08:02] wesleygoku at yahoo dot com dot br This is the problem, if I reduce the code, it works. I've checked the XHTML code and the Regular Expression, but everything is fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-24 08:38:50] derick@php.net Please provide a very short example without endless pieces of HTML/XML code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
