Doc #68632 [NEW]: Bad practice preg_quote() example

From: mfischer Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Bad practice preg_quote() example Description: ------------ http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-quote.php The preg_quote() example is a bad practice: $textbody = "This book is *very* difficult to find."; $word = "*very*"; $textbody = preg_replace ("/" . preg_quote($word) . "/", "<i>" . $word . "</i>", $textbody); If the text would contain a '/' this would easily break and thus the example should include the delimiter, i.e. preg_quote($word, "/") -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68632&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=68632&r=mysqlcfg
