#32458 [Opn]: preg_split return only offsets

ID: 32458 User updated by: pornel at despammed dot com Reported By: pornel at despammed dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: all PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: New parameter, "start at", that causes command to ignore number of initial chars, would nicely complement this feature. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-25 21:38:11] pornel at despammed dot com Description: ------------ PREG_SPLIT_OFFSET_CAPTURE is useful for creation of custom parsers - allows to find positions of matching strings. If offset is known - returned string is not needed, as it might be accessed in various other ways. I suggest adding flag PREG_SPLIT_OFFSETS_ONLY (or PREG_SPLIT_NO_CAPTURE) that would (hopefully) boost performance when preg_split is used to tokenize long strings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=32458&edit=1
